Nuclear data sensitivity and uncertainty for the Canadian supercritical water-cooled reactor II: Full core analysis

Abstract

Uncertainties in nuclear data are a fundamental source of uncertainty in reactor physics calculations. To determine their contribution to uncertainties in calculated reactor physics parameters, a nuclear data sensitivity and uncertainty study is performed on the Canadian supercritical water reactor (SCWR) concept. The nuclear data uncertainty contributions to the neutron multiplication factor keff are 6.31mk for the SCWR at the beginning of …
