Assessement of the JEFF-3.1.1 Neutron Data Library for FOR CSE of LWR Fuel Storage Pools
Edwin Kolbe,Alexander Vasiliev,Hakim Ferroukhi 한국물리학회 2011 THE JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Vol.59 No.23
A methodology for criticality safety evaluations (CSE) of light water reactor (LWR) compact storage pools and transport casks based on the Monte Carlo code MCNPX-2.5.0 was recently established at PSI. Validation calculations were performed applying a suite of 15 low-enriched thermal compound uranium and 4 mixed plutonium uranium thermal compound benchmarks extracted from the International Handbook of Evaluated Criticality Safety Benchmark Experiments. In a first part of this paper, the same validation suite, comprising in total 149 benchmark cases, is analyzed with the latest release of the JEFF-3.1.1 nuclear data library. The resulting bias is compared to the ones obtained previously with the ENDF/B-VII.0, JEFF-3.1 and JENDL-3.3 libraries. Secondly, in licensing-related studies for a new PWR commercial wet storage pool, a noticeable sensitivity upon the employed thermal neutron scattering S(α,β) matrix data was observed for water reflected configurations. By performing trend analyses with respect to the magnitude of the thermal flux for a selected subset of benchmark cases, various parameterizations of S(α,β) could be assessed including the one in JEFF-3.1.1. Finally, the benefits from applying several cross-section libraries in CSE will be pointed out.

In modern electrical traction drives, a variable dc-link voltage can be applied to increase efficiency in partial load. A dc-dc converter can supply a variable dc-link voltage and transfer energy between the battery and the dc-link. Hybrid cars combine the advantages of long driving ranges with the partial zero-emission operation. In series-hybrid drive trains, a switched reluctance machine can be used as a generator for the range extender unit. This paper presents at first the mechanism of energy transfer between the battery and the dc-link. Further, a control parameter analysis of an inverter topology for a switched reluctance machine, which combines the dc-dc converter for the power transfer between the battery and the dc-link with the inverter for the generator, is investigated. For this analysis, the control parameters turn-on, freewheeling and turn-off angle are varied to test the controllability of the energy transfer between these two components. The simulation results of the presented analysis are finally validated with measurements on the test bench.

The paper refers to an analysis of the `H.B. Robinson-2 Pressure Vessel Benchmark' with the MCNPX code. The benchmark is based on an experiment performed at an operating PWR reactor and includes measurements for both in-vessel and ex-vessel dosimeters.With the aim to enlarge the in-house validation database of the LWR neutron fluence assessments for the Swiss reactors, an MCNPX-based analysis of this benchmark was recently performed, using the general-purpose point-wise library JEFF-3.1. The analysis was done in compliance with the benchmark specifications and using the same or similar assumptions/approximations as employed by the previous participants in order to ensure consistency in the comparison of solutions.A detailed assessment of different libraries was not performed in these past calculations because of the rather poor statistical precision achieved at that time when modeling the high-energy reactions with MCNPX. In the course of recent additional optimization studies the variances of the calculation results have been significantly reduced, allowing thereby comparing the performance of different neutron data libraries for the analysis of this benchmark. This comparison is presented in this paper and includes an assessment of the data libraries JEFF-3.1, JEFF-3.1.1, ENDF/B-VII.0 and IRDF-2002. The differences observed in the results and their potential sources are discussed.

Objectives: This study examined the extent to which attitudes about smoke-free air policies (SFAPs) in bars/restaurants, workplaces, all public places, and motor vehicles when minors are present can be explained by individuals' sociodemographic characteristics, smoking status, and beliefs about the health of others. Methods: Data were gathered from 359 individuals age 18 or older who attended the Lawrence County Fair in Indiana, United States, in July, 2009, an area where there were no SFAPs in place at the time of survey administration. Results: Multinomial logistic regression analyses indicated that perceived severity of secondhand smoke (SHS) on others, perceived responsibility of smokers for the harm their SHS causes to others, and perceived susceptibility of others to SHS exposure, along with education level and smoking status, significantly predict opposition to SFAPs in this population. Conclusions: The results of this exploratory study suggest the need for additional research related to attitudes about health policies as well as to the practical applications of these findings for smoke-free air advocacy.
SUNSHINE, EARTHSHINE AND CLIMATE CHANGE: II. SOLAR ORIGINS OF VARIATIONS IN THE EARTH'S ALBEDO

There are terrestrial signatures of the solar activity cycle in ice core data (Ram & Stoltz 1999), but the variations in the sun's irradiance over the cycle seem too small to account for the signature (Lean 1997; Goode & Dziembowski 2003). Thus, one would expect that the signature must arise from an indirect effect(s) of solar activity. Such an indirect effect would be expected to manifest itself in the earth's reflectance. Further, the earth's climate depends directly on the albedo. Continuous observations of the earthshine have been carried out from Big Bear Solar Observatory since December 1998, with some more sporadic measurements made during the years 1994 and 1995. We have determined the annual albedos both from our observations and from simulations utilizing the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) scene model and various datasets for the cloud cover, as well as snow and ice cover. With these, we look for inter-annual and longer-term changes in the earth's total reflectance, or Bond albedo. We find that both our observations and simulations indicate that the albedo was significantly higher during 1994-1995 (activity minimum) than for the more recent period covering 1999-2001 (activity maximum). However, the sizes of the changes seem somewhat discrepant. Possible indirect solar influences on the earth's Bond albedo are discussed to emphasize that our earthshine data are already sufficiently precise to detect, if they occur, any meaningful changes in the earth's reflectance. Still greater precision will occur as we expand our single site observations to a global network.
CROSS FLOW EFFECTS ON THE FLAME HEIGHT OF AN INTERMEDIATE SCALE DIFFUSION FLAME

An experimental study has been conducted at an intermediate scale to study the effect of a cross flow on a purely buoyant fire. Video taping of the flame and post processing of the images by means of a novel technique provide a contour of a mean flame for all cases studied. This flame contour allows the determination of a mean flame length and a mean flame height. The mean flame length and height are recorded as functions of the forced flow velocity. Three dimensional flow patterns are formed in the flame trailing edge affecting both the mean flame length and height. The three dimensional patterns are studied systematically as functions of the cross flow velocity to quantify the effect of confinement on the flame geometry.
