ORIGEN-S (. cap alpha. ,n) neutron source spectra in borosilicate glass containing HLW
There is growing interest in the methodology and computational software for evaluating the (..cap alpha..,n) source spectra produced in mixtures of high-level waste (HLW) and borosilicate glass. The need for this development has been seen in previous work involving the analysis of HLW in borosilicate glass. Descriptions and applications of the ORIGEN-S method of computing neutron source spectra by both (..cap alpha..,n) reactions and spontaneous fission of UO/sub 2/ spent fuel have been reported previously. This summary presents a significant expansion of the ORIGEN-S (..cap alpha..,n) model to include alpha interactions with the light elements of borosilicate glass. The Battelle/Office of Nuclear Waste Isolation requested this model extension. There is an associated interest in the use of Oak Ridge National Lab. shielding codes for analyzing HLW systems.
