As necessary knowledge for nuclear reactor design, fundamental methods of nuclear reactor calculations are described. First, we explain, in an easy-to-understand manner, what kinds of numerical methods and procedures are employed in the codes which treat nuclear data processing, lattice calculation, lattice burnup calculation, core calculation, nuclear and thermal-hydraulic coupled calculation, core burnup calculation and space-dependent core calculation. Next we show the calculated examples of the optimizations for a fuel loading pattern and control rod insertion pattern in the thermal-hydraulic coupled core burnup calculation. Furthermore, we describe the methods of the plant dynamics analyses using a simple node junction model for the heat transfer calculation. The plant dynamics cover the analyses of control and startup properties, reactor stability, and safety analysis.

Times Cited Count:4 Percentile:30.6(Nuclear Science & Technology)The neutron capture cross section of Np has been measured for fast neutrons supplied at the center of the core in the Yayoi reactor. The activation method was used for the measurement, in which the amount of the product Np was determined by -ray spectroscopy using a Ge detector. The representative neutron energy and the corresponding capture cross section of Np in the experiment were analytically deduced as 0.80 0.04 b at 0.214 0.009 MeV from the measured reaction rate by combining the energy dependence of the cross section in the nuclear data library ENDF/VII.0. The deduced cross section of Np at the representative neutron energy agrees with the evaluated data of ENDF/B-VII.0, but shows 15% larger value than that of JENDL-3.3 and 13% larger value than that of JENDL/AC-2008.

Ensuring the fuel integrities is one of the most fundamental parts in the High Temperature Supercritical-Pressure Light Water Reactor. Most abnormal transient events of SCLWR-H last for a short period of time and the fuel rods are replaced after being irradiated in the core. In this study, the fuel integrity criteria are rationalized based on the fact that the fuel rod mechanical failures can be represented by the strain of the fuel rod cladding. A new fuel rod is designed with a Stainless Steel cladding. It is internally pressurized to reduce the stress on the cladding and also to increase the gap conductance between the pellet and the cladding. The fuel integrities both at normal operation and abnormal transient conditions are evaluated using the fuel analysis code FEMAXI-6 of JAERI.

In order to enhance safety and economy of fast breeder reactors further more, numerical methods, which enables us to analyze large deformation of the domain due to, for instance, moving boundaries with satisfactory accuracy, should be developed. Since the fluid is represented by a group of particles in a particle method, it is easy to trace fluid flows by using the motion of particles. Fragmentation and coalescence as well as the large deformation of the fluid can be analyzed without any special techniques. The particle method the authors have been developing, however, needs much more computation time than that of the finite difference method in large problems at the moment. Thus improvement of the computation speed is focused on here as a fundamental study of the particle method. The dominant routine for the computation time in the code is the calculation of incompressibility because of implicit discretization. In the present study a correction parameter is optimized and listing of neighboring particles is incorporated, which has realized extensive improvement of the computation speed. The improved code is applied to a problem of propagation of surface waves at the coast where the water depth decreases uniformly. The waves are generated by oscillating motion of a vertical wall. This proves that moving boundaries can be dealt with in the particle method even if a free surface is involved.
