铅铋合金或铅冷却快堆（LFR）是具有良好应用前景的第四代先进核能系统之一。针对环形芯体金属燃料（UZr，UPuZr）LFR的燃料组件与堆芯，利用Dragon/Donjon程序开展中子学计算，获得了基于ENDF/B 8.0库的172群和295群多群中子数据库、输运方法（SP3）和扩散方法（MCFD）的结果及其与蒙卡程序RMC的偏差。采用SP3算法针对UZr燃料得到的k_eff偏差小于550×10?5；对于UPuZr燃料采用MCFD算法得到的k_eff偏差小于?700×10?5。控制棒组件价值的偏差小于7.6%；172群和295群库的结果基本无差异。应用SP3算法的燃料组件功率偏差小于±6.0%；SP3算法的偏差小于MCFD的。结果证明，Dragon/Donjon程序在金属燃料铅铋快堆物理分析中具有可行性。

Preliminary application of neutronics calculation in LFR reactor with metallic fuel using dragon code

Lead-bismuth/lead cooled fast reactor (LFR) is one of the fourth-generation advanced nuclear energy systems with good application prospects. Aiming at the application of two metallic fuels (UZr, UPuZr) with annular slug in an LFR fuel assembly and a typical LFR core, the Dragon/Donjon code was used to perform neutronics calculations. The results of 172-group and 295-group neutron databases based on the ENDF/B 8.0 library and the transport method (SP3) and the diffusion method (MCFD) were obtained and compared with the results using RMC code. The k_eff deviations using SP3 algorithm for UZr fuel are less than 550×10?5, and for UPuZr fuel, the k_eff deviations obtained by MCFD algorithm are less than ?700×10?5. The maximum deviation of control rod worth is 7.6%, and the results using 172-grouplib and 295-grouplib are basically the same. By using the SP3 algorithm, the fuel assembly power deviations are less than ±6.0%, and the deviation with the SP3 algorithm is less than that with MCFD algorithm. The results preliminarily prove the feasibility of the Dragon/Donjon code for reactor physics analysis of LFR with metallic fuel.
