Abstract

The objective of the Limerick Unit 1 Radiochemical Assay Comparisons to SAS2H Calculations is to determine the accuracy of the SAS2H control module of the baselined modular code system SCALE, Version 4.4A (STN: 10129-4.4A-00), in predicting the isotopic concentrations of spent fuel, and to quantify the overall effect that the differences between the calculated and measured isotopic concentrations have on the system reactivity. The scope of this calculation covers eight different spent fuel samples from a fuel assembly that was irradiated in the Limerick Unit 1 boiling water reactor (BWR). The spent fuel samples evaluated are from a three-cycle burn period, representing burnups from 37.02 GWd/MTU through 65.54 GWd/MTU (Reager 2003).
This report is an engineering calculation supporting the development of validation reports to be used for License Application of the proposed Monitored Geologic Repository (MGR), and was performed under Administrative Procedure-3.12Q, Design Calculations and Analyses. This calculation is subject to the Quality Assurance Requirements and Description (DOE 2003) per the activity evaluation under work package number ACRM01 in the technical work plan TWP- EBS-MD-000014 REV 00 (BSC 2002).
The control of the electronic management of data was accomplished in accordance with methods specified in BSC (2002).
