An analytic relations method for the calculation of actinides concentrations

  • 1. Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Taejon (Korea, Republic of)

Description

For the safety analyses and for the evaluation of long term health effects of the actinides, KIGEN[4] is improved in this study and the exact decay-chain-path file is found for the actinides on the basis of the ENDF/B-IV decay library. Using this decay chain path file KIGEN2 that is an updated version of KIGEN can consider both forward and backward decay reactions simultaneously, thus removing the major limitation in KIGEN. KIGEN2 developed in this study allows us to obtain accurate concentrations of the fission products and actinides and other important related quantities, using approximately half of the computer time required by ORIGEN2
