Criticality Analysis for SMART Fuel Storage

  • 1. Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, Daejeon (Korea, Republic of)

Description

The SMART (System-integrated Modular Advanced ReacTor) is an integral type of small modular reactor (SMR) with 365 MWth which was developed by Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI). In this paper, the criticality in fresh and spent fuel storage, and fuel handling system of SMART are evaluated using MCNP6 with ENDF/B-VII library code. This paper shows that the criticality evaluation of fresh and spent fuel storage, and fuel handling system for SMART following the design model for safety assessment. To minimize the uncertainty of the criticality evaluation results, furthermore, bias and uncertainty due to criticality evaluation from MCNP code are evaluated. All criticality calculations for fresh and spent fuel storage, and fuel handling systemof SMART are within the limits not exceeding.
