8.1.8.3. KENO Sample Problems

This section contains sample problems to demonstrate some of the options available in KENO in stand-alone mode. Because stand-alone KENO has no means to read standard composition information and process for use, the problem-dependent cross section library must be prepared before executing KENO in the multigroup mode. The MIXTURE data block (See Sect. 8.1.3.1) is used to provide the mixing table. In the continuous energy mode, the cross sections are directly used and therefore no problem-dependent library is needed. The mixing table is required in the continuous energy mode as well. If KENO is executed as part of CSAS5 or CSAS6 sequence, generation of the problem-dependent library (for the multigroup mode) and the mixing table is automatically performed by the sequence.

A total of 33 KENO V.a different case inputs and 27 KENO-VI inputs are provided as multigroup mode KENO sample problems in a single input file “kenova.inp” and “kenovi.inp” for KENO V.a and KENO-VI, respectively. This input file contains an initial CSAS-MG input to create the problem-dependent cross section library to be used in the sample problems in the input file. Although KENO does not run stacked cases, when KENO is run as part of SCALE, the driver allows KENO to be executed each time it encounters an =KENOVA, respectively =KENOVI. The “.inp” file contains all 33/27 problems one after the other. A similar input file “cekenova.inp”, respectively “cekenovi.inp” is also provided for continuous energy mode of calculations. The changes required to create the continuous energy mode input file from the multigroup mode input file are simple. The continuous energy mode file does not have (or need) the CSAS-MG input at the beginning. In addition, all “lib=4” entries in the PARAMETER data block are changed to cep=ce_v7.1_endf to indicate the mode of calculation is continuous energy and the continuous energy cross section directory file is “ce_v7.1_endf” indicating ENDF/B-VII.1-based cross sections. The mixing table entry SCT is not applicable in the continuous energy mode, so it has been deleted from the continuous energy input file. Finally, material-specific albedos have also been removed from the continuous-energy input because they are not supported with continuous-energy mode.

The same 33/27 problems are also executed as individual cases with filenames “k5smp??.inp”, respectively “k6smp??.inp”, where ?? stands for sample problem number (01 through 33 or 27). Since each one of these sample problems needs a problem-dependent cross section library (multigroup mode only) and a mixing table, these problems have been converted to run as CSAS5/6 problems. Similar input files are also provided to be run in the continuous energy mode and the files are named “cek5smp??.inp”, respectively “cek6smp??.inp”, where ?? again stands for sample problem number (01 through 33 or 27). The change required to create the continuous energy mode inputs from the multigroup mode inputs is very simple: the cross-section library name is changed from “v7.1-252” to “ce_v7.1”.

In the following section the input for each case is listed assuming the multigroup mode of calculation in KENO. The KENO input is also listed in the file corresponding “.inp” file. The CSAS-MG input file for these cases is in the next section.

Warning

Some input might show differences in NPG, NSK and GEN parameters between multigroup and continuous energy input files.

8.1.8.3.1. CSAS-MG data

CSAS-MG can (1) be run alone with problem-dependent working library on logical Unit 4 saved for later use with the KENO sample problems, or (2) be placed in front of the KENO sample problems.

The CSAS-MG SCALE control module calculates the necessary resonance data required to create the problem-dependent AMPX working format library using SCALE standard composition input.

The multigroup mode KENO sample problem input data are independent of energy group structure. To use a different energy group structure, simply supply the desired master cross-section library name in the CSAS-MG or CSAS5/6 data. See XSProc, Standard Composition and CSAS5/6 chapters for additional information and examples. See the XSLib chapter for information about the master format cross-section libraries that are available in SCALE.

Data for CSAS-MG are provided to create a problem-dependent AMPX working format cross-section library suitable for use with the multigroup mode KENO sample problems. These data include all of the mixtures used in the KENO sample problems and will create an AMPX working format cross-section library with nuclide IDs matching those in the KENO sample problem mixing tables. This cross-section library is problem-specific and is not appropriate for use with other problems.

The CSAS-MG input data to produce an AMPX working format cross-section library for the multigroup mode KENO V.a sample problems are given below. Note that “kenovi.inp” also has its own CSAS-MG data which is identical to the below input with some minor updates in the comment lines.

8.1.8.3.2. KENO V.a sample problem data

A brief problem description and the associated input data are included for each multigroup mode KENO sample problems. Different options may be easily activated by making changes in the data. These problems are set up using an AMPX working format library which was created by a CSAS-MG case just prior to the KENO V.a/KENO-VI cases. The nuclide identifiers for this library are consistent with the SCALE identifiers created by CSAS-MG. Input data to create this library are given in Sect. 8.1.8.3.1. The unit number is defined by the parameter LIB= in the parameter data.

8.1.8.3.2.1. Sample Problem 1 2C8 BARE

This is a simple 2 \(\times\) 2 \(\times\) 2 array of uranium metal cylinders as described in the article “Critical Three-Dimensional Arrays of U(93.2)-Metal Cylinders,” [KENO-Appendix-CTho73] by J. T. Thomas. This critical experiment is designated in Table II of that article as cylinder index 11 and reflector index 1. Fig. 8.1.233 shows the critical experiment.

8.1.8.3.2.3. Sample Problem 3 2C8 15.24-CM PARAFFIN REFL

A 2 \(\times\) 2 \(\times\) 2 array of uranium metal cylinders is reflected by 6 in. of paraffin on all faces (Fig. 8.1.233). This critical experiment1 is designated as cylinder index 11 and reflector index 5 in Table II of Ref. 1. Fig. 8.1.234 shows half of the critical experiment, which consisted of the half shown and the mirror image of it. These two assemblies were moved together to achieve criticality. The top reflector is missing in Fig. 8.1.234, but was present when criticality was achieved.

8.1.8.3.2.5. Sample Problem 5 2C8 12-INCH PARAFFIN ALBEDO REFLECTOR

This problem is the same as samples problems 3 and 4 except the reflector is represented by a 12 in. paraffin albedo. Note the decrease in execution time when using an albedo reflector instead of doing actual tracking. Note also that k-effective is somewhat higher for this system, probably due to the small edge size of the system [KENO-Appendix-CWT69].

8.1.8.3.2.13. Sample Problem 13 TWO CUBOIDS IN A CYLINDRICAL ANNULUS

This critical experiment [KENO-Appendix-CIM64] consists of two assemblies of 93.2% 235U-enriched uranium metal \((\rho=18.69 \mathrm{^g} / \mathrm{cc})\) stacked vertically. The bottom assembly contains a uranium metal cuboid offset to the left within a uranium metal cylindrical annulus. The top assembly contains a uranium metal cuboid offset to the right within a uranium metal cylindrical annulus. The cuboid extends above the annulus. A drawing of the two sections and the total assembly is given in Fig. 8.1.236.

8.1.8.3.2.15. Sample Problem 15 SMALL WATER REFLECTED SPHERE ON PLEXIGLAS COLLAR

This critical experiment [KENO-Appendix-CBKH+77] is a small highly enriched uranium sphere supported by a Plexiglas doughnut in a tank of water. The sphere extends down through the hole of the doughnut. However, the KENO geometry package cannot rigorously describe a doughnut (torus) with either KENO V.a or KENO-VI. Therefore, the KENO mockup of this problem describes the doughnut as an annular cylindrical plate and the sphere is supported by it. Both are contained in a cylindrical tank of water. A drawing of the experiment is given in Fig. 8.1.238. This drawing shows the sphere above the cylindrical collar for the sake of clarity. The sphere is actually supported by the collar and extends into the opening in its center. The actual experiment utilized a torus or doughnut instead of a cylindrical collar.

8.1.8.3.2.18. Sample Problem 18 1F27 DEMONSTRATION OF OPTIONS

A reflected cubic array of 27 cylinders of aqueous uranyl nitrate in Plexiglas bottles [KENO-Appendix-CTho64]. The walls of the bottles were 0.64-cm thick, and each bottle was filled with 5 liters of 92.6% enriched solution at a concentration of 415 g/L, a specific gravity of 1.555 and 0.39 mg excess nitrate/g soln (From experimental facility documents. Not reported in ORNL/TM-719.) The 3 \(\times\) 3 \(\times\) 3 array was surrounded by a 6-in. paraffin reflector. Most of the print options available in KENO are exercised in this problem. A perspective of this critical experiment is shown in Fig. 8.1.239. A photograph of one of the experiments utilized 27 of the Plexiglas bottles is shown in Fig. 8.1.240. Sample problem 18 has 15.24 cm of paraffin on all six faces rather than the 2.54-cm Plexiglas shown on five faces.

8.1.8.3.2.21. Sample Problem 21 PARTIALLY FILLED SPHERE

This critical experiment consisted of a partially filled, unreflected spherical container. This aluminum container had an inside diameter of 27.244 in. and a wall thickness of 1/16 in. It is referred to in the report as the 27.3-in.-diameter vessel. The sphere was 98% filled with uranyl fluoride at an enrichment of 4.89% with an H/235U atomic ratio of 1099. The height of the solution in the sphere was 64.6 cm above the bottom of the sphere. A schematic diagram of the apparatus used in the experiment is given in Fig. 8.1.242. The steel tank was ignored.

8.1.8.3.2.25. Sample Problem 25 CASE 2C8 BARE AS MIXED YHEMICYLINDERS

The physical representation of this sample problem is the critical experiment described in sample problem 1. This sample problem describes each of the eight units in the critical 2 \(\times\) 2 \(\times\) 2 array using hemicylinders whose axes are in the y direction. This is realized in KENO V.a by using yhemicylinders, while in KENO-VI it is realized using hemicylinders with different chord sizes and directions whose long axes are rotated in the Y-direction.

8.1.8.3.2.33. Sample Problem 33 CRITICAL TRIANGULAR PITCHED ARRAY OF ANNULAR RODS

This sample problem represents a critical experiment [KENO-Appendix-CJoh66] that consists of a partially flooded array of 19 low enriched uranium metal cylindrical annuli billets arranged in a triangular pitched array. The density of the uranium metal was 19.0 g/cc, and the isotopic enrichment in weight percent was 1.95% 235U, 98.02% 238U, 0.006% 236U, and 0.002% 234U. The cylindrical annuli had an inside diameter of 6.604 cm, an outside diameter of 18.288 cm, and were placed with a pitch of 20.828 cm. Each billet was 101.6 cm long. The array was positioned in a very large tank. This configuration was critical when the tank was filled to a height of 47.7 cm on a scale whose zero point was 0.6 cm below the bottom of the billets. The bottom of the billets was 21.6 cm above the bottom of the tank. The tank and all support structures have been ignored in this model. The model utilizes only 15.24 cm of water reflector on all sides of the array. Fig. 8.1.244 and Fig. 8.1.245 provide a representation of the model. A photograph of a single annular billet is shown in Fig. 8.1.246.
