Abstract:This paper summarizes our previous works on neutronics analysis for the disposal of damaged fuels from Fukushima Daiichi reactors. Three major stages have been identified for the criticality safety assessment after disposal. In order to evaluate the criticality safety for certain repository conditions and engineered barriers designs, neutronics models have been defined for different stages, and numerical results have been calculated by a Monte-Carlo code MCNP. For stages when fissile nuclides in the damaged fu… Show more
