被引用回数:1 パーセンタイル:0.00(Nuclear Science & Technology)The completed Horizon-2020 project on "Management and Uncertainties of Severe Accidents (MUSA)" has reviewed uncertainty sources and Uncertainty Quantification methodology for the purpose of assessing Severe Accidents (SA). The key motivation of the project has been to bring the advantages of the Best Estimate Plus Uncertainty approach to the field of Severe Accident. The applications brought together a large group of participants that set out to apply uncertainty analysis (UA) within their field of SA modelling expertise, in particular reactor types, but also SA code used (ASTEC, MELCOR, etc.), uncertainty quantification tools used (DAKOTA, RAVEN, etc.), detailed accident scenarios, and in some cases SAM actions. This paper synthesizes the reactor-application work at the end of the project. Analyses of 23 partners are sorted into different categories, depending on whether their main goal is/are (i) uncertainty bands of simulation results; (ii) the understanding of dominating uncertainties in specific sub-models of the SA code; (iii) improving the understanding of specific accident scenarios, with or without the application of SAM actions; or, (iv) a demonstration of the tools used and developed, and of the capability to carry out an uncertainty analysis in the presence of the challenges faced. The partners' experiences made during the project have been evaluated and are presented as good practice recommendations. The paper ends with conclusions on the level of readiness of UA in SA modelling, on the determination of governing uncertainties, and on the analysis of SAM actions.

The current HORIZON-2020 project on "Management and Uncertainties of Severe Accidents (MUSA)" aims at applying Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) in the modeling of Severe Accidents (SA), particularly in predicting the radiological source term of mitigated and unmitigated accident scenarios. Within its application part, the project is devoted to the uncertainty quantification of different severe accident codes when predicting the radiological source term of selected severe accident sequences of different nuclear power plant designs, e.g. PWR, VVER, and BWR. Key steps for this investigation are, (a) the selection of severe accident sequences for each reactor design, (b) the development of a reference input model for the specific design and SA-code, (c) the selection of a list of uncertain model parameters to be investigated, (d) the choice of an UQ-tool e.g. DAKOTA, SUSA, URANIE, etc., (e) the definition of the figures of merit for the UA-analysis, (f) the performance of the simulations with the SA-codes, and, (g) the statistical evaluation of the results using the capabilities, i.e. methods and tools offered by the UQ-tools. This paper describes the project status of the UQ of different SA codes for the selected SA sequences, and the technical challenges and lessons learnt from the preparatory and exploratory investigations performed.

被引用回数:16 パーセンタイル:81.22(Physics, Nuclear)The neutron-deficient mercury isotopes serve as a classical example of shape coexistence, whereby at low energy near-degenerate nuclear states characterized by different shapes appear. The electromagnetic structure of even-mass Hg isotopes was studied using safe-energy Coulomb excitation of neutron-deficient mercury beams delivered by the REX-ISOLDE facility at CERN. The population of 0
, 2
, and 4
states was observed in all nuclei under study. Reduced
matrix elements coupling populated yrast and non-yrast states were extracted, including their relative signs. These are a sensitive probe of shape coexistence and may be used to validate nuclear models. The experimental results are discussed in terms of mixing of two different configurations and are compared with three different model calculations: the Beyond Mean Field model, the Interacting Boson Model with configuration mixing and the General Bohr Hamiltonian. Partial agreement with experiment was observed, hinting to missing ingredients in the theoretical descriptions.

Defect centers in zinc oxide (ZnO) were investigated using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) techniques. Un-doped ZnO samples were irradiated with 2MeV electrons with fluence ranges between 2 and 410
/cm
at room temperature. As a result of EPR measurements, the spectrum, labeled S1, with small-splitting doublet accompanied by weak satellites was observed. The obtained structure is shown to be the hyperfine structure because of the dipolar interaction between an unpaired electron spin and a nuclear spin of hydrogen (H). The presence of H atom in S1 was confirmed from the observation of the nuclear Zeeman frequency of H in electron spin echo envelope modulation experiments. Considering the observed spin-Hamiltonian parameters, S1 was identified to be the partly H-passivated Zn vacancy, V
H
, with the H
ion making a short O-H bond with only one nearest O neighbor of V
in the basal plane, being off the substitutional site, while the unpaired electron spin, by which the observed EPR signal increased, was localized on the p orbital of another O neighbor also in the basal plane.

Deep level defects in Silicon Carbide (SiC) were studied using photo-induced current transient spectroscopy (PICTS), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and photoluminescence (PL). Deep levels were introduced into high-purity semi insulating 4H-SiC samples by 2 MeV-electron irradiation. After the electron irradiation, the samples were annealed between 200 and 1000 C. In the samples annealed at 400
C or higher temperatures, we observed six different peaks from PICTS measurements. We labeled these peaks as a, b, c, d, e and f. As a result of the dependence of the peak heights on annealing temperature, the heights of all peaks increase monotonically with annealing temperature. In our previous report, we observed peaks labeled as A and B, which were speculated to be related to C
V
and the EI4 center identified by EPR. Peak temperatures and annealing behavior of peaks A and B are similar to those of peaks d and f, respectively, while other peaks a, b, c and e were not observed in our previous studies. The PL peaks at 433 and 442 nm were observed in all the studied samples, whereas peaks at 428 and 429 nm were observed in the samples annealed above 200
C, and a peak at 427 nm was observed in samples annealed above 400
C. Considering the annealing temperature dependence of the PICTS and PL peaks, the PL peak at 427 nm may correspond to either one of PICTS peaks a, b, d, e, and f.
