Analyses of the bias and uncertainty of SNF decay heat calculations using Polaris and ORIGEN

The bias and uncertainty of calculated decay heat from spent nuclear fuel (SNF) are essential for code validation. Also, predicting these quantities is crucial for deriving decay heat safety margins, influencing the design and safety of facilities at the back end of the nuclear fuel cycle. This pape...
