A flux region assignment algorithm to increase cache efficiency for the method of characteristics is proposed. In order to minimize the stride of memory access, flux region IDs are assigned based on the ray trace sequence during the method of characteristics calculation. The present method is implemented in the three-dimensional transport code GENESIS and its performance is confirmed through verification calculations ranging from single PWR fuel assembly to PWR full core benchmark problems. The present method can reduce computational time by improving cache efficiency while suppressing memory requirement.

Development of reduced order model of severe accident analysis code for probabilistic safety margin analysis

Matsushita M., Endo T., Yamamoto A., Kitao T.

International Conference on Physics of Reactors, PHYSOR 2018: Reactor Physics Paving the Way Towards More Efficient Systems Vol. Part F168384-5 page： 3042 - 3053 2018

For probabilistic safety margin analysis, we developed a reduced order model (ROM) that reconstruct calculation results of typical severe accident progressions obtained by the severe accident analysis code, MAAP. The ROM is applied for fast reconstruction of time series plant parameters (e.g., pressure and temperature) obtained by the MAAP code. The ROM is applied to two severe accident scenarios, i.e., the station black out (SBO) with loss of all feed water capabilities and the large break loss of coolant accident (large break LOCA) without the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) capability. Verification results indicate that the ROM reasonably reproduces temporal variation of plant parameters with a few bases obtained by the ROM, which enables very fast reconstruction of complicated accident progression of a severe accident.

Development of the uncertainty quantification method of activation in reactor structures using reduced-order modeling

Uncertainty quantification of activation in structure materials around a nuclear reactor is important for efficient planning of decommissioning. In order to quantify the uncertainty of activation in reactor structures, neutron shielding calculations are necessary. Since the neutron shielding calculation is performed for spatially large regions around a reactor, it requires a lot of computation time especially in the case of multi-dimensional geometry. In this study, the reduced-order modeling (ROM) is applied to the sensitivity and uncertainty analysis of activation in reactor structures to reduce computation time. The ROM can reduce calculation cost for evaluation of sensitivity coefficients by identifying important or sensitive subspace (active subspace, AS) in input data. In this study, an AS is constructed by the several sensitivity coefficients in reactor structures which are evaluated by the perturbation theory (PT). Sensitivity coefficients of activation throughout reactor structures are estimated using the AS and the uncertainty of activation is evaluated by the "sandwich formula." The calculation results indicate that the uncertainty of the activation in reactor structures can be reproduced with low calculation cost (approximately 30 neutron transport calculations) using the ROM in one-dimensional geometry of a 500 MWe class BWR.

Estimation of region-wise even-parity discontinuity factor for MOC through iterative procedure

Yamamoto A., Giho A., Endo T.

International Conference on Physics of Reactors, PHYSOR 2018: Reactor Physics Paving the Way Towards More Efficient Systems Vol. Part F168384-3 page： 1892 - 1903 2018

To reduce angular and spatial discretization error of MOC with a coarse calculation condition, region-wise even-parity discontinuity factor (EPDF) for transport calculations is evaluated through an iterative procedure using only region-wise scalar flux, i.e., without odd parity angular flux, partial-, or net-current at region boundary. Region-wise EPDF is evaluated in a single assembly geometry with reflective boundary condition. The evaluated EPDFs are applied to a 2x2 colorset assembly configuration and its performance is compared to the conventional superhomogenization (SPH) method. The calculation results indicate that 1) no convergence issue is observed during the iteration process to estimate EPDF, 2) performance of the region-wise EPDF is better than that of the conventional SPH method.
