Specifically, this evaluation effort aims to contribute a number of fresh and depleted critical (CRIT) configurations of UWNR as well as steady-state and transient reaction-rate (RRATE) measurements. Previous efforts led to a scripted UWNR model that supports automated generation of inputs for MCNP and Serpent. Recently, this capability was extended to SCALE/KENO, which required significant changes to the underlying geometry and material representations. All three Monte Carlo tools (MCNP, Serpent, and KENO) are being used to evaluate a variety of zero-power, fresh-critical configuration and will be used to model burnup for evaluation of depleted-critical configurations.

Work is ongoing to develop a full core model in MAMMOTH/Rattlesnake, which is a deterministic code based on the MOOSE framework. This model will be used for the evaluation of several transient experiments conducted at UWNR. Preliminary results of fresh-critical configurations show a good agreement among the four codes and experimental data. Also, preliminary results of depleted-critical configurations indicate that the depleted core model successfully tracks core reactivity over time as long as an initial (but relatively small) reactivity bias is eliminated. Formal uncertainty quantification will be carried out using SCALE to study the impact of model uncertainties on the effective multiplication factor and other observables.

Structured mesh-based discretization of these problems allows for improved modeling in these activation analysis problems. Finer discretization of these problems results in large computational costs, which drives the investigation of more efficient methods. Within an ad hoc subroutine of the Monte Carlo transport code MCNP, we implement sampling of voxels and photon energies for volumetric sources using the alias method. The alias method enables efficient sampling of a discrete probability distribution, and operates in O(1) time, whereas the simpler direct discrete method requires O(log(n)) time. By using the alias method, voxel sampling becomes a viable alternative to sampling space with the O(1) approach of uniformly sampling the problem volume.

This\ncalculation represents a very challenging shielding problem because of the immense size and\ncomplexity of the ITER structure and the presence of a two meter thick biological shield.\nCompared to a FW-CADIS calculation with the same storage size of the variance reduction\nparameters, the use of the three algorithms resulted in a 23.3\\% increase in the regions where the\ndose rate results are achieved in a 10 day Monte Carlo calculation and increased the efficiency of\nthe Monte Carlo simulation by a factor of 3.4. Because of this significant increase in the Monte\nCarlo efficiency which was not accompanied by an increase in the memory requirements, the use\nof the three algorithms in FW-CADIS simulations enabled the simulation of this difficult\nshielding problem on a regular computer cluster using parallel processing of Monte Carlo\ncalculations. The results of the parallel Monte Carlo calculation agreed at four points with a very\nfine mesh deterministic calculation that was performed on the super-computer, Jaguar.},\n\tlanguage = {English},\n\tschool = {University of Wisconsin-Madison},\n\tauthor = {Ibrahim, Ahmad},\n\tmonth = jun,\n\tyear = {2012},\n\tkeywords = {CNERG:HK20 Final Report},\n}\n", "data": { "key": "4BD4NW6X", - "version": 30671, + "version": 30782, "itemType": "thesis", "title": "Automatic Mesh Adaptivity for Hybrid Monte Carlo/Deterministic Neutronics Modeling of Difficult Shielding Problems", "creators": [ @@ -1755,16 +1762,18 @@ "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", - "tags": [], + "tags": [ + { + "tag": "CNERG:HK20 Final Report" + } + ], "collections": [ "6259B6TV", - "4MDZ29N8", - "RI2DQ3B2", "34I86HPD" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2013-01-21T21:43:04Z", - "dateModified": "2024-09-08T16:51:31Z" + "dateModified": "2024-09-08T17:38:42Z" } }, { @@ -1861,7 +1870,7 @@ }, { "key": "7CCN265G", - "version": 26427, + "version": 30781, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 10058, @@ -1905,10 +1914,10 @@ "parsedDate": "2011-08", "numChildren": 3 }, - "bibtex": "\n@phdthesis{snouffer_validation_2011,\n\taddress = {Madison, WI, United States},\n\ttype = {{MS} {Nuclear} {Engineering} and {Engineering} {Physics}},\n\ttitle = {Validation and {Verification} of {Direct} {Accelerated} {Geometry} {Monte} {Carlo}},\n\tabstract = {As both Monte Carlo radiation transport codes and 3D CAD modeling become more widely used, there has been an increasing number of efforts to combine these tools.

These adjoint-weighted tallies allow for the calculation of certain quantities important to understanding the physics of a nuclear reactor.\n\nThe methods, unlike traditional approaches to computing adjoint-weighted quantities, do not attempt to invert the random walk. Rather, they are based upon the iterated fission probability interpretation of the adjoint flux, which is the steady state population in a critical nuclear reactor caused by a neutron introduced at that point in phase space. This can be calculated in a strictly forward calculation, and this factor can be applied to previously computed tally scores.\n\nThese methods are implemented in a production Monte Carlo code and are used to calculate parameters requiring adjoint weighting, the point reactor kinetics parameters and reactivity changes based upon first-order perturbation theory.
