Times Cited Count:8 Percentile:60.93(Nuclear Science & Technology)Analysis framework under material distribution uncertainty is investigated for the Monte Carlo (MC) criticality calculation of continuously mixed media formed via molten core concrete interaction. Deterministic trigonometric functions and randomized Weierstrass functions are utilized to represent the spatially continuous variation. Numerical results indicate that the effective multiplication factor (k) under random spatial variation can depart significantly from the k of a reference uniform medium. It is also shown that the deterministic modeling provides an upper-bound measure for extreme results from random realizations.

To understand the characteristics of MCCI products in Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, the simulated MCCI products in laboratory scale were prepared by arc melting of compacted powder mixtures of core materials and concrete. Stainless steel, boron carbide, metallic zirconium, (U,Zr)O, GdO, and platinum group elements were selected as the core materials. Phases, morphology, and micro hardness were analyzed on cross-section of the solidified specimens. The specimens consisted of oxide part (MO corium and silicate glass or Al-Ca-O) and metallic part (alloys and borides). The phase relationships in the MCCI products were found to be dominated by the initial concrete/Zr mixing ratio, because the dehydration of concrete is the main oxidation factor and the metallic zirconium acts as a strong reductant. Micro hardness of main phases are 7 GPa for silicate glass, 13-15 GPa for (U,Zr,Gd,Ca)O corium, and 25 GPa for ZrB and ferrous borides, respectively.
