摘要: 堆用蒙卡程序(RMC)是由清华大学工程物理系REAL实验室自主开发的用于反应堆物理分析的中子输运蒙卡程序,本文主要介绍其燃耗计算功能的开发与验证。RMC的燃耗计算功能具有的特点:内部耦合ORIGEN,相比于外耦合方式,更加灵活和高效;使用基于能谱的单群截面统计方法,可在保证精度的前提下,显著提高计算效率;采取预估修正和中点近似等多种燃耗步策略,减小大燃耗步长时的计算误差。通过计算压水堆栅元、沸水堆组件、快堆等一系列基准题和算例,验证了RMC燃耗计算的正确性和速度优势。Abstract: This paper presents the burnup calculation capability of RMC,which is a new Monte Carlo(MC) neutron transport code developed by Reactor Engineering Analysis Laboratory(REAL) in Tsinghua university of China.Unlike most of existing MC depletion codes which explicitly couple the depletion module,RMC incorporates ORIGEN 2.1 in an implicit way.Different burn step strategies,including the middle-of-step approximation and the predictor-corrector method,are adopted by RMC to assure the accuracy under large burnup step size.RMC employs a spectrum-based method of tallying one-group cross section,which can considerably saves computational time with negligible accuracy loss.According to the validation results of benchmarks and examples,it is proved that the burnup function of RMC performs quite well in accuracy and efficiency.
