The MMX InfraRed Spectrometer (MIRS) is an imaging spectrometer on board of MMX JAXA mission. MIRS is built at LESIA-Paris Observatory in collaboration with four other French laboratories, collaboration and financial support of CNES and close collaboration with JAXA and MELCO. The instrument is designed to fully accomplish MMX's scientific and measurement objectives. MIRS will remotely provide near-infrared spectral maps of Phobos and Deimos containing compositional diagnostic spectral features that will be used to analyze the surface composition and to support the sampling site selection. MIRS will also study Mars atmosphere, in particular to spatial and temporal changes such as clouds, dust and water vapor.

A next generation reactor analysis code system, MARBLE, has been developed. MARBLE is a successor of the fast reactor neutronics analysis code systems, JOINT-FR and SAGEP-FR (conventional system), which were developed for so-called JUPITER standard analysis methods. MARBLE has the equivalent analysis capability to the conventional system. On the other hand, burnup analysis functionality for power reactors as improved compared with the conventional system. In the development of MARBLE, the object oriented technology was adopted. As a result, MARBLE became an assembly of components for building an analysis code (i.e. framework) but not an independent analysis code system which simply receives input and returns output. Furthermore, MARBLE provides some pre-built analysis code systems such as the fast reactor neutronics analysis code system, SCHEME, which corresponds to the conventional code and the fast reactor burnup analysis code system, ORPHEUS.

In 2009, NUMO and JAEA set up a technical commission to investigate the reasonable TRU waste disposal following a cooperation agreement between these two organizations. In this report, the calculation result of radionuclide transport for a TRU waste geological disposal system was described, by using the TIGER code and the GoldSim code at identical terms. Comparing the calculation result, a big difference was not seen. Therefore, the reliability of both codes was able to be confirmed. Moreover, the influence on the disposal site design (Disposal capacity: 19,000 m$$^{3}$$) was examined when 10% of the amount of TRU waste increased. As a result, it was confirmed that the influence of the site design was very little based on the concept of the Second Progress Report on Research and Development for TRU Waste Disposal in Japan.

Development of burnup analysis system for fast reactors with modularity and flexibility is being done that would contribute to actual core design work and improvement of prediction accuracy. In the present study, we implemented functions for cell calculations and burnup calculations. With this, whole steps in analysis can be carried out with only this system. In addition, we modified the specification of user input to improve the convenience of this system. Since implementations being done so far had some bottlenecks to be resolved; we have realized the improvement on efficiency and amount of memory usage with modification on actual implementation.

Yokoyama, Kenji; Hirai, Yasushi*; Tatsumi, Masahiro*; Hyodo, Hideaki*; Chiba, Go; Hazama, Taira; Nagaya, Yasunobu; Ishikawa, Makoto

Proceedings of International Conference on the Physics of Reactors, Nuclear Power; A Sustainable Resource (PHYSOR 2008) (CD-ROM), 8 Pages, 2008/09

A development project of the next generation neutronics analysis code system, MARBLE, has been launched in JAEA. A software platform and common data models for fast reactor neutronics analysis were developed to realize the new system. At present, a fast reactor burnup calculation system, ORPHEUS, has been implemented in the MARBLE system. The new system reproduced benchmark results by the conventional code system and it reduced input data preparation works with the help of the capabilities supported by common data model packages. The new system was validated in an analysis of a burnup reactivity coefficient measured in the experimental fast reactor JOYO. These results show that MARBLE/ORPHEUS can be adopted as a new standard neutronics analysis system for fast reactors.

The analysis of burnup characteristics is needed to effectively use burnup characteristics data in the actual cores based on the cross-section adjustment method. So far, development of an analysis code for burnup sensitivity, SAGEP-BURN, has been done and confirmed its effectiveness. However, there is a problem that analysis sequences become inefficient because of a big burden to user due to complexity of the theory of burnup sensitivity and limitation of the system. It is also desired to rearrange the system for future revision since it is becoming difficult to implement new functionalities in the existing large system. Therefore, systemization of the burnup sensitivity analysis code has been done with an object-oriented scripting language.

There is a problem that analysis work tends to become inefficient for lack of functionality suitable for analysis of composition change due to burnup since the conventional analysis system is targeted to critical assembly systems. Therefore development of burnup analysis system for fast reactors with modularity and flexibility can contribute actual core design work and improvement of prediction accuracy. In the previous study on "Development of Burnup Analysis System (for Fast Reactors)" in FY2005, basic design was conducted to define each component in the system(input, solver, edit) and how to drive them. In this study, detailed design of the system and implementation of the I/O component were conducted according to the results in the basic design followed by proto-typing implementation.

In order to utilize the measured burnup data for improvement on accuracy in reactor core design, it is important to minimize the methodological errors to retrieve physical meanings from experimental data. The system for neutronics analyses that has been developed as the JUPITER standard analysis method assumes geometry of critical assembly, thus the system has not been maintained in functionalities for analysis of composition change of fuel materials. Therefore, there is a potential restriction for the purpose of detail analysis due to extreme inefficiency that comes from variety of limitation on its functionalities. It is not sufficient to follow a predefined analysis sequence in burnup analysis for reactor core; it is also needed to change analysis sequence to examine modeling error in analysis or to retrieve calculated values in an intermediate computation step for interpretation of physical meanings. Therefore it is not complete with a simple join of each function; it is needed to develop a new system for burnup analysis of reactor cores with flexibility on composition and decomposition of analysis components such as cell and core calculations. In this work, necessary conditions are examined for a new burnup analysis system targeted to actual reactor cores from the results of a research on the current working set in burnup analysis. With results in the research, a set of conceptual and fundamental designs were done.

Proceedings of International Topical Meeting on Mathematics and Computation, Supercomputing, Reactor Physics and Nuclear and Biological Applications (M&C 2005) (CD-ROM), 12 Pages, 2005/09

In this work, a new burnup sensitivity analysis code, PSAGEP, has been developed with help from the object-oriented technique and the scripting language Python. It was confirmed they are powerful to support complex numerical calculation procedure for burnup sensitivity analysis. PSAGEP was reborn from the conventional hard-to-use code system as a user-friendly code system which can calculate the sensitivity coefficients of the nuclear characteristics considering burnup effect to cross-section changes based on the generalized perturbation theory.

A distinct improvement on accuracy in nuclear core design has been accomplished by development of adjusted nuclear library using the cross-section adjustment method, in which the results of critical experiments of JUPITER and so on are reflected. In the design of large LMFBR core, however, it is important to accurately estimate not only neutronics characteristics but also burnup characteristics. For this purpose, it is desired to improve prediction accuracy of burnup characteristics using the data widely obtained in actual core.The analysis of burnup characteristics is needed to effectively use burnup characteristics data in the actual cores based on the cross-section adjustment method. So far, development of an analysis code for burnup sensitivity, SAGEP-BURN, has been done and confirmed its effectiveness. However, there is a problem that analysis sequences become inefficient because of a big burden to user due to complexity of the theory of burnup sensitivity and limitation of the system. It is also desired to rearrange the system for future revision since it is becoming difficult to implement new functionalities in the existing large system It is not sufficient to unify each computational component for some reasons; computational sequence may be changed for each item being analyzed or for purpose such as interpretation of physical meaning. Therefore it is needed to systemize the current code for burnup sensitivity analysis with component blocks of functionality that can be divided or constructed on occasion. For this purpose, systemization of the burnup sensitivity analysis code has been done with an object-oriented scripting language.In this study, an examination was conducted for the two-layer controlling model of the conventional system using Python, the object-oriented scripting language, With the result of the examination, a new analysis system for burnup sensitivity, PSAGEP (Python-wrapped SAGEP-burn), was implemented.
