Abstract

ABSTRACT FUEL BURN-UP DISTRIBUTION AND TRANSURANIC NUCLIDE CONTENTS PRODUCED AT THE FIRST CYCLE OPERATION OF AP1000. AP1000 reactor core was designed with nominal power of 1154 MWe (3415 MWth), operated within life time of 60 years and cycle length of 18 months. For the first cycle, the AP1000 core uses three kinds of UO2 enrichment, they are 2.35 w/o, 3.40 w/o and 4.45 w/o. Absorber materials such as ZrB2, Pyrex and Boron solution are used to compensate the excess reactivity at the beginning of cycle. In the core, U-235 fuels are burned by fission reaction and  produce energy, fission products and new neutron. Because of the U-238 neutron absoption reaction, the high level radioactive waste of heavy nuclide transuranic such as Pu, Am, Cm and Np are also generated. They have a very long half life. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the result of fuel burn-up distribution and heavy nuclide transuranic contents produced by AP1000 at the end of first cycle operation (EOFC). Calculation of ¼ part of the AP1000 core in the 2 dimensional model has been done using SRAC2006 code with the module of COREBN/HIST. The input data called the table of macroscopic crossection, is calculated using module of PIJ. The result shows that the maximum fuel assembly (FA) burn-up is 27.04 GWD/MTU, that is still lower than allowed maximum burn-up of 62 GWD/MTU.  Fuel loading position at the center/middle of the core will produce bigger burn-up and transuranic nuclide than one at the edges the of the core. The use of IFBA fuel just give a small effect to lessen the fuel burn-up and transuranic nuclide production.

Reaktor AP1000 didesain dengan daya nominal 1154 MWe (3415 MWth), mampu beroperasi selama umur reaktor sekitar 60 tahun dan memiliki panjang tiap siklus sekitar 18 bulan. Pada siklus operasi pertama, teras AP1000 menggunakan tiga jenis pengkayaan bahan bakar UO2 yaitu 2,35 w/o, 3,40 w/o dan 4,450 w/o. Penyerap neutron ZrB2, Pyrex dan larutan Boron digunakan sebagai kompensasi reaktivitas lebih pada awal siklus. Di dalam teras reaktor, bahan bakar U-235 mengalami pembakaran melalui reaksi fisi yang akan menghasilkan energi, produk fisi dan neutron baru. Karena adanya reaksi serapan neutron oleh U-238 maka reaktor juga menghasilkan limbah radioaktif tingkat tinggi berupa nuklida transuranium yang mempunyai waktu paruh sangat panjang seperti Np, Pu, Am, dan Cm. Dalam penelitian ini dilakukan analisis hasil perhitungan distribusi burn-up bahan bakar dan kandungan nuklida transuranium yang dihasilkan oleh teras AP1000 saat akhir siklus operasi pertama. Perhitungan model geometri 2 dimensi teras AP1000 bentuk ¼ bagian dilakukan dengan paket program SRAC2006 modul COREBN/HIST. Sedangkan input data berupa tabel tampang lintang makroskopik diperoleh dari perhitungan dengan modul PIJ. Hasil prhitungan menunjukkan bahwa burn-up perangkat bahan bakar (Fuel Assembly, FA) tertinggi  adalah sebesar 27,04 GWD/MTU dan ini masih jauh lebih rendah dari batas maksimum burn-up yang diijinkan yaitu 62 GWd/MTU. Posisi pemuatan perangkat bahan bakar di bagian tengah teras akan menghasilkan burn-up dan nuklida transuranium yang lebih besar dibandingkan dengan ditepi teras. Penggunaan bahan bakar Integrated Fuel Burnable Absorber hanya sedikit berpengaruh terhadap penurunan burn-up dan nuklida transuranium yang dihasilkan. Kata kunci: Fuel burn-up, kandungan nuklida transuranium, AP1000, siklus operasi pertama, SRAC2006

Abstract

ABSTRAKAKTIVITAS DAN KONSEKUENSI DISPERSI RADIOAKTIF UNTUK DAERAH KOTA DAN PEDESAAN. Konsekuensi karena lepasan kontaminan radioaktif oleh manusia dipengaruhi oleh banyak faktor seperti besarnya aktivitas kontaminan yang tersebar dan kondisi lingkungan. Kondisi lingkungan meliputi kondisi meteorologi, kontur tapak, dan pathway kontaminan ke manusia. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah analisis aktivitas dan konsekuensi radionuklida waktu paruh panjang akibat kecelakaan di daerah perkotaan dan pedesaan. Tujuan khusus adalah menghitung aktivitas dispersi udara dan deposisi permukaan, prediksi laju dosis dan risiko yang ditimbulkan untuk daerah perkotaan dan pedesaan sebagai fungsi lokasi. Metode yang digunakan adalah simulasi estimasi konsekuensi dari dispersi produk fisi di atmosfer akibat kecelakaan terpostulasi Beyond Design Basis Accident, BDBA. Perhitungan dilakukan untuk lepasan radioaktif akibat kecelakaan PWR 1000 MWe yang disimulasikan untuk area pedesaan dan perkotaan Tapak Bojanegara-Serang. Hasil analisis aktivitas dispersi udara dan deposisi permukaan untuk area pedesaan (rural) lebih tinggi dibandingkan areal perkotaan (urban). Penerimaan dosis untuk area pedesaan lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan penerimaaan dosis area perkotaan. Dosis invidu efektif maksimum untuk area  pedesaan (rural)  adalah 9,24x10-2 Sv dan daerah perkotaan (urban) adalah 5,14x10-2 Sv. Risiko total terkena kanker untuk masyarakat yang berdomisili di area perkotaan lebih tinggi dibandingkan area pedesaan.

The consequences of radioactive releases of contaminants by humans is influenced by many factors such as the amount of activity that spread contaminants and environmental conditions. Environmental conditions include meteorological conditions, the contours of the site and contaminant pathways to humans. The purpose of this research is the analysis of the consequences of radionuclide activity and long half-life time due to accidents in urban and rural areas. The specific objective is to calculate the activity of the air dispersion and surface deposition, dose rate predictions and the risks posed to urban and rural areas as a function of the location. The estimates method used is simulation of the consequences on fission products dispersion in the atmosphere due to the postulated accident Beyond Design Basis Accident, BDBA. The calculation is performed for radioactive releases from accidents in 1000 MWe PWR simulated for rural and urban areas on Bojanegara-Serang site. Results of the analysis are that the activity of air dispersion and deposition surface at rural areas higher than urban areas. The Acceptance dose is higher for rural areas compared with urban areas. The maximum effective individual dose for rural areas is 9.24x10-2 Sv and urban areas is 5.14x10-2 Sv. The total risk of cancer for people who live in urban areas is higher than rural areas.

Abstract

Based on a strategic plan of TRIGA 2000 Bandung’s future operation, BATAN has already decided to implement an option to convert the fuel elements core of TRIGA 2000 from using the cylindrical type of elements produced by General Atomic to MTR plate type of fuel elements produced by local fuel element manufacture.  The core design calculation has proved that the core configurations of 5 x 5 matrix using local plate type fuel elements met the requirement of core neutronics design. In addition to the current core configuration, further study must be added to consider the use of beam ports as utilization facilities in the design.  The neutron flux distribution at piercing beam port has been calculated based monte carlo algorithm using TRIGA MCNP and MCNP software. The calculation result showed that at piercing beam port surface neutron flux distribution is not quite symmetric. The highest neutron flux at piercing beam port is , where as the flux of neutron thermal energy group is . These results are considerably appropriate for such core configuration and as a result, they can be used as a basic data for designing Plate Type Research Reactor Bandung, especially for neutron diffraction experiment

Abstract

Indonesia possesses numerous potential sites for nuclear power plant development. A fast and comprehensive radiological consequences analysis is required to conduct a preliminary analysis of radionuclide release into the atmosphere, including source terms estimation. One simplified method for such estimation is the use of the Relative Volatility approach by Kess and Booth, published in IAEA TECDOC 1127. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of a simple and comprehensive tool for estimating the source terms of planned nuclear power plants to facilitate the analysis of radiological consequences during site evaluation. Input parameters for the estimation include fuel burn-up, blow-down time, specific heat transfer of fuel to cladding, and coolant debit, using 100 MWe PWR as a case study. The results indicate a slight difference in the calculated release fraction compared to previous calculations, indicating a need to modify Keywords: Source terms, Relative volatility, Release fraction, PWR, SMART
