Calculation and analysis of radioactive source term in PWR assemblies
Background: When fission occurs in fuel of reactor core
it produces a large amount of radioactive materials
which may cause harm to the environment and human health. Purpose: The radioactive materials in fuel could provide input data for shielding design of reactor coolant radioactive source term
analysis of accident source term and radioactive consequence assessment. Methods: The calculation of radioactive source in fuel was studied for pressurized water reactor
the calculation methods and models were established using ORIGEN-S
and the difference of nuclides radioactivity under different burnup was also studied. The effect of different versions of ENDF/B cross-section database on the calculation results was analyzed
so as to provide a basis for the calculation of radioactive source in fuel. Results: The results showed that the method established by ORIGEN-ARP was more suitable for calculating radioactive source term in fuel assemblies and the different versions of ENDF/B database had a great impact on radioactivity calculation. Conclusion: Based on the ENDF/B-VII database
using ORIGEN-ARP to calculate radioactive source term in fuel assemblies could not only improve efficiency
