Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of nuclide calculation, and particularly relates to a method for calculating the uranium-plutonium ratio and isotope ratio of a pressurized water reactor spent fuel assembly. Background Art
[0002] Currently, the main pressurized water reactors generally use fuel assemblies with uranium dioxide pellets. After the fuel assemblies experience a certain irradiation history in the reactor, they are discharged from the core and become spent fuel. The source term in the spent fuel assembly is an important parameter in reactor physics design and shielding design. The source term of the spent fuel assembly can be calculated using a burnup code for more accurate analysis and research. For actinide nuclides such as uranium and plutonium, a component burnup code for reactor physics design is generally used, and for more fission product nuclides, some common depletion codes can be used for calculation. At the same time, in some estimations of the nuclear fuel cycle, parameters such as the uranium-plutonium ratio, the remaining enrichment of uranium, and the plutonium isotope ratio in the fuel are also concerned. In this application scenario, estimations need to be carried out for a large number of spent fuel assemblies. Therefore, a method for quickly calculating the uranium-plutonium ratio and isotope ratio of a pressurized water reactor spent fuel assembly is required. Summary of the Invention
