Isotopic Generation and Confirmation of the BWR Appl. Model

The objective of this calculation is to establish an isotopic database to represent commercial spent nuclear fuel (CSNF) from boiling water reactors (BWRs) in criticality analyses performed for the proposed Monitored Geologic Repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. Confirmation of the conservatism with respect to criticality in the isotopic concentration values represented by this isotopic database is performed as described in Section 3.5.3.1.2 of the Disposal Criticality Analysis Methodology Topical Report (Reference 7.1).

Axial Burnup Profile Database for Pressurized Water Reactors

The data were obtained directly from utilities whose reactors represent the range of commercial PWR fuel lattices. The work was performed by Yankee Atomic Electric for Sandia National Laboratory. All axial burnup profiles were calculated from 3-D depletion analyses of the core configuration. The organizations and utilities providing axial burnup profiles for the database used different model codes for the 3D-depletion calculations. The model codes used were: SIMULATE-3, NEMO, ANC, and PRESTO-II. Cross-section inputs describing the assemblies are derived from assembly lattice calculations.
