Sensitivity-Uncertainty Techniques for Nuclear Criticality Safety
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
The sensitivity and uncertainty analysis course will introduce students to keff sensitivity data, cross-section uncertainty data, how keff sensitivity data and keff uncertainty data are generated and how they can be used. Discussion will include how sensitivity/uncertainty data can be used to select applicable critical experiments, to quantify a defensible margin to cover validation gaps and weaknesses, and in development of upper subcritical limits.
