Description

The activation analyses were performed to obtain activities, inventories and dose rates after shutdown for the Korea HCCR TBM. MonteBurns code coupled with MCNP and CINDER codes was used in the activation calculation and the irradiation history based on the SA2 scenario was applied. The total activity in TBM after shutdown was evaluated as a value of 4.12 × 1016 Bq. Dose rates after shutdown from the activated HCCR TBM was estimated. The decay gamma-ray spectra in each region inside TBM were estimated based on the calculated activities. The dose rate at 0 cm–3 m from the FW surface of HCCR TBM was evaluated according to the cooling time of 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 6 months and 1 year. The dose rate at 0 cm from the FW surface was evaluated to be 575.84 Sv/h at 1 day after shutdown
