Methodology for the calculation of neutron fluence onto VVER-440 reactor pressure vessel

  • 1. Centro de Tecnologia Nuclear, La Habana (Cuba)

Description

In the present paper we suggest a methodology to calculate the neutron fluence onto WWER type reactor pressure vessel. To simulate the penetration of neutrons outgoing from the core, an IBM PC version of the Monte Carlo code system HEXANN-EVALU is used. A survey of the improvements needed to perform this conversion is also presented. We show the procedure to obtain the neutron source data emerging from reactor core based on the results of the code SPPS-1, used to simulate the WWER-440 cycle. Finally, using the results of the code system, a sequence of mathematical expressions are given in order to estimate the fluence onto the vessel and the corresponding Lead Factor
