Parameter and fluence-rate covariances in lepricon

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6992996
The LEPRICON code system is now available from the Radiation Shielding Information Center at ORNL as PSR-277. The system consists of modules that involve both the calculation of neutron fluence rates through PWR pressure vessels and the adjustment of these fluence rates with reduced uncertainties based on surveillance dosimetry. This paper describes in detail the manner in which important parameter uncertainties are partitioned and quantified as part of the input to the adjustment procedure, and to what degree they are applicable to all reactor designs. 7 refs., 1 fig., 1 tab.
