Calculation of reactor pressure vessel fluence using TORT code

  • 1. Hanyang Univ., Seoul (Korea, Republic of)

Description

TORT is employed for fast neutron fluence calculation at the reactor pressure vessel. KORI Unit 1 reactor at cycle 1 is modeled for this calculation. Three-dimensional cycle averaged assembly power distributions for KORI Unit 1 at cycle 1 are calculated by using the core physics code, NESTLE 5.0. The root mean square error is within 4.3% compared with NDR (Nuclear Design Report) for all burnup steps. The C/E (Calculated/Experimental) values for the in-vessel dosimeters distribute between 0.98 and 1.36. The most updated cross-section library, BUGLE-96 based on ENDF/B-VI is used for the neutron fluence calculation. The maximum fast neutron fluence calculated on reactor pressure vessel for KORI Unit 1 operated for 411.41 effective full power days is 1.784x1018n/cm2. The position of the maximum neutron fluence in RPV wall 1/4 T is nearby 60 cm below the midplane at zero degree
