MCADS程序的开发和ADS基准题计算

由于加速器驱动次临界堆存在外中子源,堆芯结构复杂,中子注量的各向异性严重,所以相关燃耗计算在次临界系统设计中起着重要作用。为实现次临界系统的燃耗计算,结合粒子输运程序MCNP处理复杂几何和燃耗程序LITAC处理核素全面的特点,开发了接口程序MCADS耦合MCNP和LITAC。然后选取IAEA-ADS基准题对耦合程序进行了验证计算。结果表明,燃耗、外源强度、空泡效应、初始功率分布等方面的计算结果和其他国家的计算结果相比有很好的一致性,证实了MCADS在次临界模式计算中的可靠性。     

MPI在蒙特卡罗程序GMT中的应用和发展

针对ADS颗粒靶概念的研究和设计,中国科学院近代物理研究所自主研发了蒙特卡罗模拟软件GMT。为了提高GMT程序的计算效率,研究了MPI在GMT中的应用和发展,实现了大规模随机数在进程中的随机分配,并采用快速读写文件的方式替代了MPI相关数据通信函数,极大地提高了计算效率。并研究了不同规模计算实例进程数、加速比、效率之间的关系,确定了最大加速进程数及并行效率最高时的进程数,为科研工作者在计算资源和计算效率之间选择最优计算方案提供了科学依据。MPI在GMT中的成功应用使计算资源得到了充分、高效的利用,极大地提高了计算效率,解决了蒙特卡罗方法中大规模事件模拟计算时间长、计算不稳定等问题,在散裂靶大规模扫描计算中发挥了重要的作用。For the research and design of the ADS granular-flow target concept, the Institute of Modern Physics, CAS has developed a Monte Carlo simulation software (GPU-accelerated Monte Carlo Transport program, GMT). In order to improve the computational efficiency of the GMT program, development and application of MPI in GMT were studied, to realize random distribution of the large-scale random number in the sub processes. Rapid reading and writing files were employed instead of the MPI data communication function, which greatly improves the computational efficiency. Different scale calculations were performed to study the relationship of process instance number, speedup to find the maximum acceleration process number and the number of processes when parallel efficiency is highest, which provides a scientific basis for researchers to optimize the computational program between computational resources and computation efficiency. The successful application of MPI in GMT, utilizes the computing resources fully and efficiently, improves the computational efficiency, solve the long time cost and unstable problem of Monte Carlo method in large-scale event simulations, plays an important role in the large-scale scanning calculation of the spallation target.     

CAFe DUMP前刮束器的设计研制

位于中国科学院近代物理研究所的超导直线加速器样机CAFe是一台质子超导直线加速器实验样机,围绕该装置的束流实验研究将为下一步设计研究加速器驱动次临界洁净核能系统(ADS)专用的超导直线加速器打下基础并提供经验。为了实现CAFe的10 mA束流指标,需要设计研制专门的束流收集器(DUMP)和对应的刮束器。本工作就CAFe DUMP前刮束器的研制进行了系统的设计和计算工作。刮束器面向束流侧的材料采用Al6063,确保束流轰击后的剩余放射性活度处于安全范围。基于蒙特卡罗粒子输运模拟,开展放射性核素及剩余剂量分析。结果表明,退役时刮束器外围剂量为可接受的百微希沃特每小时量级。通过ANSYS的热分析,计算了不同束流情况下刮束器的温度分布及温度变化,研究了刮束器在正常运行时移除热量的能力和在异常状况下应急保护的能力。计算结果表明,刮束器可以满足安全移除强流高功率束流束晕的设计需求。在CAFe高功率束流实验中,刮束器及DUMP运行正常,束流监测指标与设计一致,证明研制的刮束器实现了安全移除束晕、监测束流参数和保护DUMP的功能。     

应用蒙特卡罗方法对比研究ADS颗粒靶和块状靶（英文）

应用蒙特卡罗软件FLUKA对比研究了颗粒靶和块状实体靶在中子、质子泄露,中子、质子流强,能量沉积,残余核活度及Gamma射线剂量率的差异。最终结果显示在靶的轴对称方向,相较块状靶,颗粒靶中的中子流强和能量沉积更加均匀,且侧壁泄露中子更多而反冲中子较少。除此之外,在散裂产物放射性方面,尽管有部分核素两种靶具有相似的活度,但是颗粒靶总的放射性活度要比块状靶低。因此以上特性使得颗粒靶相较块状实体靶更适合用于ADS的靶。Using the Fluka Monte Carlo code,the comparison study between granular target and monolith target in neutron and proton leakages,neutron and proton fluxes,energy deposition density and residual radioactivity as well as gamma dose rates were presented.Results shows that the neutron flux and energy deposition in tungsten spheres target are more homogeneous along the axial direction than monolith target.What's more,the granular target has a more lateral neutron yield and a relatively small amount of neutrons in the backward direction.In addition,the total radioactivity is found to be comparatively lower in granular target,although for some nuclei,the value of their activities are similar for both targets.So the above features make the granular target more suitable as a ADS target.     

Impact Parameter Dependence of the Double Neutron/Proton Ratio of Nucleon Emissions in Isotopic Reaction Systems

Within the transport model IBUU04, we investigate the double neutron/proton ratio of free nucleons taken from two reaction systems using two Sn isotopes at a beam energy of 50 MeV/nucleon and with impact parameters 2fm, 4fm and 8fm, respectively. It is found that the double neutron/proton ratio from peripheral collisions is more sensitive to the density dependence of the symmetry energy than those from mid-central and central collisions.
