使用済燃料を地層処分する場合を想定して(使用済燃料の直接処分)、処分場の周辺岩盤で燃料成分が蓄積することによって臨界が起こる可能性を評価するための解析的検討を行った。岩盤中で臨界が起こる燃料成分の量の最小値を評価するための中性子輸送モデル(地下水飽和した球形の体系を想定して解析を実施)と、燃料成分の地下水中への溶出と岩盤中での移行を評価するための物質輸送モデルによる解析結果を組み合わせて評価を行った。その結果、燃料成分が岩盤中で蓄積する条件として保守的な条件を想定する場合では、臨界が起こる量が蓄積される状況も想定されるものの、処分場での使用済燃料の配置を工夫することで、こうした状況は起こりにくくなると考えられた。

Uncertainty analysis of far-field precipitation from used nuclear fuel

Salazar, A.*; Fratoni, M.*; Ahn, J.*; 平野 史生

Proceedings of 2017 International High-Level Radioactive Waste Management Conference (IHLRWM 2017) (CD-ROM), p.600 - 607, 2017/04

The safety assessment of a geological repository for used nuclear fuel must ensure that future generations are shielded from radiation from fission products, in particular those released by re-criticality events. An investigation is required to understand whether or not criticality can actually be achieved. In fulfilling this end, this study assesses the uncertainty in the composition and total mass of precipitates forming in the far-field due to variation in transport parameters. The Latin Hypercube Sampling technique is employed to generate an accurate, random distribution of variables employed in the transport model and to assess the uncertainty of attaining a critical mass. The average characteristics of the damaged fuel from the Fukushima Daiichi reactor cores is used as the reference waste form. Results are compared to the minimum critical masses of previous studies to assess the criticality safety margin.

Material composition effects on far-field deposition minimum critical mass

Atz, M.*; Liu, X.*; Fratoni, M.*; Ahn, J.*; 平野 史生

Proceedings of 2017 International High-Level Radioactive Waste Management Conference (IHLRWM 2017) (CD-ROM), p.608 - 614, 2017/04

After nuclear waste is buried in a repository, hydrogeological processes can dissolve, transport, separate, and rearrange radionuclides inside or outside the repository. If fissile material becomes separated from neutron absorbers and precipitates in a far-field geologic formation, a critical mass may be formed. The scope of this study is to assess the impact of the spent fuel composition and host rock type on the risk of criticality in the far field. In particular, this study performs neutronics analysis in order to determine the minimum theoretical mass of fissile material needed to achieve criticality in a water-saturated far-field deposition under conservative conditions. Understanding of the effects of composition of spent fuels and host rock types enable discussion of the likelihood of far field criticality from LWR used fuel. In addition, this work makes recommendations on repository design and LWR fuel cycle management so as to minimize the risk of far-field criticality.

Effects of random geometry on post-closure repository criticality safety

Liu, X.*; Fratoni, M.*; Ahn, J.*; 平野 史生

Proceedings of 2017 International High-Level Radioactive Waste Management Conference (IHLRWM 2017) (CD-ROM), p.595 - 599, 2017/04

The present work aims to study the effect of random geometry on the long-term criticality safety. Preliminary considerations on uranium depositions in randomly fractured rocks have been obtained through an approximated analytical solution to calculate spherical fuel lumps with random locations. With stochastic and heterogeneous conditions applied, the present work examines the conservatives of the neutronic models for repository criticality safety assessment, and provides deeper understandings of the system. The major finding is that, when parameters are chosen to optimized the criticality, effective multiplication factor for systems with the random geometries can be well-bounded by the average case.
