Proposal of shutdown dose estimation method by Monte Carlo code

Davide Valenza, Hiromasa Iida, Romano Plenteda, Robert T. Santoro2001年Fusion Engineering and DesignIF 1.7出版社

AbstractIn the ITER project, the estimation of the dose equivalent rate levels after reactor shutdown for hands-on maintenance around the torus is a key point. The Sn transport and activation codes, because of their poor ability for modelling complex geometry (as in the ITER machine), yield a large uncertainty in radiation transport calculations where the geometry is not simple. In this paper, we propose a method that solves the above problem using a Monte Carlo code that allows a detailed geometry description. This new method requires modification of nuclear data library replacing a prompt gamma spectrum with a decay gamma spectrum and also a modest change in the computer program (MCNP). A simple geometry benchmark problem was conducted, comparing the new method and an existing method (THIDA-2). The agreement of the two methods is fairly good, suggesting that the new method is useful for very complex geometry devices. The slight difference observed in the results from both methods likely comes from the difference in the nuclear data library used in both methods.

ITERプロジェクトにおいて、トーラス周辺での直接保守のための原子炉停止後の線量当量率レベルの評価は重要なポイントである。Sn輸送・放射化コードは、複雑な形状のモデル化能力が低いため、形状が単純でない場合の放射線輸送計算において大きな不確かさを生じる。本論文では、詳細な形状記述を可能にするモンテカルロコードを用いて上記の問題を解決する手法を提案する。この新しい手法では、即発ガンマ線スペクトルを崩壊ガンマ線スペクトルに置き換える核データライブラリの修正と、コンピュータプログラム(MCNP)の若干の変更が必要である。新しい手法と既存の手法(THIDA-2)を比較する単純形状ベンチマーク問題を実施した。両手法の一致はかなり良好であり、新しい手法が非常に複雑な形状の装置に有用であることが示唆される。両手法の結果に観察されたわずかな差は、両手法で使用した核データライブラリの違いに起因する可能性が高い。
