摘要
To carry out accurate burnup calculations for a pebble-bed fluoride-salt-cooled high-temperature reactor,the energy-dependent cross-sectional model based on the Doppler broadening rejection correction method has been proposed to develop the energy-dependent elastic scattering cross-sectional model. In this study, the Monte Carlo continuous energy code PSG2/Serpent was used to examine the difference between the constant cross-sectional model and the energy-dependent cross-sectional model during burnup. For the cases analyzed in this study,numerical simulations show that the multiplication coefficient was improved by hundreds pcm and ^(239)Pu concentration was improved by approximately 1–2% during burnup when the energy-dependent elastic scattering crosssectional model is considered.
