BISON Capabilities for LWR Fuel Behavior Analysis During Accident and High-burnup Conditions

Technical Report Toptan, Aysenur; Pastore, Giovanni; Gamble, Kyle

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NEAMS) program aims to develop predictive capabilities using computational methods for the analysis and design of advanced reactor and fuel cycle systems. This program has been supporting the development of BISON which is a high-fidelity and high-resolution fuel performance tool at the engineering scale. Increasing recent interest in applications at extended burnups motivated this study to incorporate more physically based models in BISON. This document details integration of newly implemented modeling capabilities into BISON, which includes (1) new thermal conductivity models that are valid up to 100 GWd/t,more »« less

Acceleration of Thermochimica Calculations in Bison

Technical Report Poschmann, Max; Piro, Markus; Simunovic, Srdjan

The performance of the open-source thermochemical software library Thermochimica has been enhanced by developing a re-initialization algorithm to make use of data from previous calculations to reduce the number of convergence steps in the Gibbs energy minimization procedure. This algorithm has been tested in the context of stand-alone Thermochimica calculations, and speedups in the range of 2x-3x achieved for cases with chemistries resembling those of irradiated nuclear fuels. Routines to make use of this re-initialization procedure have been implemented in Bison, in which each node uses the results of the previous calculation at that node as the initial conditions formore »« less

Criticality reference benchmark calculations for burnup credit using spent fuel isotopics

Technical Report Bowman, S

To date, criticality analyses performed in support of the certification of spent fuel casks in the United States do not take credit for the reactivity reduction that results from burnup. By taking credit for the fuel burnup, commonly referred to as burnup credit,'' the fuel loading capacity of these casks can be increased. One of the difficulties in implementing burnup credit in criticality analyses is that there have been no critical experiments performed with spent fuel which can be used for computer code validation. In lieu of that, a reference problem set of fresh fuel critical experiments which model variousmore »« less
