Description

The present work represents an advance on these early studies in the following respects: (i) a more detailed and up-to-date model of a sodium-cooled fast reactor has been chosen; (ii) calculations has been carried out in the EURLIB 100-group structure - so sensitivity features which were to some extent masked by the 37-group structure previously used are now resolved; (iii) recently available cross-section correlation data for iron and sodium has been processed into the EURLIB group scheme and used in the analysis. Realistic design parameter uncertainties can now be compared with upper limit estimates of uncertainty whose use has been enforced through lack of information on correlated uncertainties
