For efficient design and manufacture of PWR spent fuel burnup detector, data simulated with various condition of spent fuel in the NPP storage pool is required. In this paper, to derive performance requirements of spent fuel burnup detector for neutron flux and dose rates were evaluated at various distances from CE16 and WH17 types of fuel, representatively. The evaluation was performed by the following steps. First, the specifications of the spent fuel, such as enrichment, burnup, cooling time, and fuel type, were analyzed to find the conditions that emit maximum radioactivity. Second, gamma and neutron source terms of spent fuel were analyzed. The gamma source terms by actinides and fission products and neutron source terms by spontaneous and (α, n) reactions were calculated by SCALE6 ORIGAMI module. Third, simulation input data and model were applied to the evaluation. The material composition and dose conversion factor were referred as PNNL-15870 and ICRP-74 data, respectively and dose rates were displayed with the MCNP output data. It was assumed that there was only one fuel modeled by MCNP 6.2 code in pool. The evaluation positions for each distance were selected as 5 cm, 10 cm, 25 cm, 50 cm, and 1 m apart from the side of fuel, respectively. Fourth, neutron flux and dose rates were evaluated at distance from each fuel type by MCNP 6.2 code. For WH 17 types with a 50 GWd/MTU burnup from 5 cm distance close to fuel, the maximum neutron flux, gamma dose rates and neutron dose rates are evaluated as 1.01×105 neutrons/sec, 1.41×105 mSv/hr and 1.61×101 mSv/hr, respectively. The flux and dose rate of WH type were evaluated to be larger than those of CE type by difference in number of fuel rods. The relative error for result was less than 3~7% on average secured the reliability. It is expected that the simulated data in this paper could contribute to accumulate the basic data required to derive performance requirements of spent fuel burnup detector.

한국방사성폐기물관리공단 주관 하에 개념 설계된, 연소도이득효과 적용 대용량 수송용기에 대해 방사 선 차폐 안전성을 평가하였으며 여러 방사선원들이 수송용기 주변 선량률 분포에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 가능한 모든 방사선원(중성자선원, 감마선원, 방사화선원)들을 고려하였으며 보수적인 가상의 핵 연료(너비: WH 17 RFA, 축방향: CE Type)를 선정, 실제 상황과 동일한 조건이 되도록 계산모델을 구축 하였다. 모든 조건(정상 및 가상사고 조건)에서 표면선량률과 외부선량률이 법적기준치를 만족하고 있었 으며 축방향 높이에 따라 각 선원들의 기여도가 변하고 있었지만 정상조건에서의 최대 표면선량률과 외 부선량률은 방사화선원에 의한 영향이 가장 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 가상사고 조건에서는, 중성자선원 의 선량률 기여도가 대략 90%에 달하고 있었으나 수송용기 끝단에서는 방사화선원에 의한 선량률이 급 격하게 상승함에 따라 BUC 적용 수송용기의 방사선 차폐해석시 충분히 보수적으로 해석되도록 방사화선 원을 정밀하게 분석하여 설정하여야 할 것으로 판단되었다.
