Nuclear data uncertainty propagation applied to the versatile test reactor conceptual design

Journal Article Rivas, Andy ; Martin, Nicolas Pierre ; Bays, Samuel E ; ... - Nuclear Engineering and Design

We report the Versatile Test Reactor (VTR) currently under development is a 300 MWth sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR) fueled with ternary metal alloy fuel, which aims to accelerate the testing of advanced nuclear fuels, materials, instrumentation, and sensors in high flux environments that are necessary to license the next generation of advanced reactor concepts. To support the VTR design process, uncertainties associated with the nuclear data has been propagated through the reactor core neutronics calculation to global parameters of interest, such as the core multiplication factor, kinetic parameters, and various reactivity feedback coefficients, following the sensitivity based uncertainty propagation approach.more »« less

Use of Graphical Structures to Quantify and Propagate Uncertainties in Development of Conceptual Models

Conference Kerl, Felicia A. ; Heger, A. Sharif ; Gallegos, David P. ; ...

Part of the application for a license for a high-level radioactive waste repository is an assessment of repository performance over thousands of years, which will inevitably have to treat uncertainties. One source of uncertainty is in the conceptualization of the natural repository system. Generally, conceptual models are developed based on interpretation of existing data using expert judgment. Uncertainties in conceptual models, which are propagated through the performance assessment calculations, are introduced when simplifying assumptions are made about the behavior of the real system. These assumptions are made because the data, knowledge that is based on the data, and other informationmore »« less

A review of techniques for propagating data and parameter uncertainties in high-level radioactive waste repository performance assessment models

Technical Report Zimmerman, D A ; Wahl, K K ; Gutjahr, A L ; ...

Techniques for propagating data and parameter uncertainties in high-level waste (HLW) repository performance assessment models are discussed. Uncertainty analysis techniques techniques ascribe quantitative measures of reliability to model predictions. Both 10 CFR 60 and 40 CFR 191 require consideration of uncertainties, including uncertainties in data and parameters, in the performance assessment of an HLW repository system. Four categories of uncertainty analysis methods are discussed: Monte Carlo simulation, replacement models (response surface techniques), differential techniques (direct, adjoint, and Green's function technique), and geostatistical techniques (stochastic modeling using Monte Carlo simulation and spectral analysis). Advantages, disadvantages and applications of each technique aremore »« less

Elements of a pragmatic approach for dealing with bias and uncertainty in experiments through predictions : experiment design and data conditioning; %22real space%22 model validation and conditioning; hierarchical modeling and extrapolative prediction.

Technical Report Romero, Vicente Jose

This report explores some important considerations in devising a practical and consistent framework and methodology for utilizing experiments and experimental data to support modeling and prediction. A pragmatic and versatile 'Real Space' approach is outlined for confronting experimental and modeling bias and uncertainty to mitigate risk in modeling and prediction. The elements of experiment design and data analysis, data conditioning, model conditioning, model validation, hierarchical modeling, and extrapolative prediction under uncertainty are examined. An appreciation can be gained for the constraints and difficulties at play in devising a viable end-to-end methodology. Rationale is given for the various choices underlying themore »« less
