ADVANCES IN STUDSVIK’S SYSTEM FOR SPENT FUEL ANALYSES
Studsvik’s approach to spent nuclear fuel analyses combines isotopic concentrations, fluxes, and cross-sections, calculated by the CASMO5 neutron transport and depletion code, with irradiation history data from the SIMULATE5 reactor core simulator and tabulated isotopic decay data.

| description | Studsvik’s approach to spent nuclear fuel analyses combines isotopic concentrations, fluxes, and cross-sections, calculated by the CASMO5 neutron transport and depletion code, with irradiation history data from the SIMULATE5 reactor core simulator and tabulated isotopic decay data. These data sources are used and processed by the SNF code to compute the spent nuclear fuel characteristics. Recent advances in the system, including cross-sections and decay data from ENDF/B-VIII.R0, are presented in this paper, together with validation results against decay heat power and isotopic compositions measurements. Measurements conducted at the Swedish interim storage facility, CLAB, are used for validation of the decay heat power, while comparisons to the results of the international program ARIANE are used to demonstrate the capability of CMS5/SNF to accurately predict isotopic compositions. The paper shows the results calculated with ENDF/B-VIII.R0, and the effect on the spent fuel characteristics is evaluated by comparisons to the earlier ENDF/B-VII.R1 results. |
