Introduction There are two ro;»in case» in the treatment of resonance absorption of neutron in inii'<-ai reactors. The first is the uase where the resonances arc considered lo be theoretically wellseparated, that is, level-spacinjjs of resonances are much larger than Doppler width . this lr«itment has been applied to fertile materials ut neutron energies below nbuut 10 IteV awl HUM been considered to be suitable for most thermal reactor*. The second case occurs when the resonances are not well sepenued and'or when there are overlapping resonances due to ililferent materials. This case is important (or the fust and intermediate reactor* Various methods are available for the 'irsl case and are well discusser!, for example, in references (1) and (2). In this case, it is usually assumed that the flux recovers an asymptotic l/E form below each resonance, that is. "the flux recovery between resonances' is assumed m these methods for resonance absorption Obtaining an exact analytical solution lo the i-ijuiiiion* for neutron slowing-down however is difficult even under the simple assumption of the I lux recovery, and this difficulty has led to a number of approximate solutions to the problem Examples wetl-kno'vn are the first-order solutions such as the narrow-resonance (NR) and wide-resonance (WR) approximations improvements were subsequently made by iterating them in the basic equations of neutron balance, including the intermediate resonance (IR> approximation1' *'. For heterogeneous systems, if the geometry is represented precisely, the special problem is unnecessarily complicated for the calculation of resonance absorption. The assumption that ihf neutron Dux is spatially constant within each sub-region of the lattice cell simplifies the problem and reduces the transport problem to Uie determination of the first-flight collision probabilities SOT the iuti and moderator regions The simplification was combined with the selected use of the WR or NR approximation Especially for an analytical tteutment, the approximation of representing the collision probability by a rational expression is quite useful and the hrterogtiK-oa* systems were treated also with the IR approach using the rational I*he aasmmtriJon of the spatially flux is the serious shortcoming on the analytical approach •rid th* most difftcah to remove The coupled effects of the assumptions of the flat (lux and of the fiux recovery msy introduce serious errors in seme situations7*'1", for examplo, when the ab»orb« dimension become* very targe, or when a very heavy nucfide is mcKlerator. In practical cues, further complications may arise from the non-uniform distributions of ternperajure in fuel pin and/or absorber Aermty wstb fa-^f burnup The difficulty of removing these assumptions from »nai>'f.K»l method* re»utt* tn the u&e of the method* of directly and accurately evaluating resonance capture in heterogeneous systems isach as RICM", RIPF RAFF' 0 ', RABBLE11', SDR1*' or ih<; Mont* Carlo torfe* 3 '• ) The calculating metbod of rcnonancr a'bsflrptioa «>d '"Joppleir coefficient of reactivity in thermal reactor* is considered to be fairly Mlisfiictory, became the neutron spectrum does not much deviate from l/E sind the resonance absorption almost cemn froai few resonance levels of fertile materials (-HJ) at lower eaergvFk where «carxt« ret*m»nec panuneterit are obtained and the assumption of flux recovery is cofmdererf to be suffkwfntly s-atisfjed Moreover, th»f ratio of fissile to fertile isotopes in gentraSly quit* small, hence the eostribution to the Dopplcr effect from fissile isotopes are very arnait - PEACO • A Code for Olculatioo of Group Constants of Resonance Energy Region in Heterogeneous Systems 1AFRT . 0 , o JACKI I~U la fast reactors which contain resonance absorbers in higher volume ratio than thermal reactors, the neutron spectrum is entirely different and in much depleted due to resonance absorption. In this case, the resonances at higher energies contribute most to the Doppler effect, where may be the interference between neighboring resonances in the same isotope Moreover, to make matters worse, the ratio of fissile to fertile isotopes will be jjeneraiiy much larger and the interference effects between various resonance isotopes become quite important. Hence the second cuse. where the resonances are not well *cpera*ed, is important mainly for fast and intermediate reactors. For fast reactor anlysis, the efferlive cross sections have often been calculated by ustnjj J/(£2\(K)) spectrum based on the assumption of the constant collision density Even if we started with this assumption, we however met the difficulty of the calculmion of the integrals over the probability distribution1'' of resonance parameters in unresolved resonance regions Hence, the variuos approximation methods have been proposed for the estimation of the effective cross sections-"'1". These treatments at present however seem to be loss complete, and we can not fxpect that high accuracy for the Doppler coefficient of reactivity in which calculation account must be taken the rapid energy dependence of the or-value of -MPu and the sodium scattering resonance and/or heterogeneous effects into is obtained from no approximate method started with the l/(E£i(E)) spectrum"*'. In order to avoid the shortcomings of the semi-analytical methods based on the ].<KX, (£)), the •xmstruction of a resonance sequence over the unresolved region of interest b*a been considered to be useful meanings for the calculation of the effective cross Mxtion:<(° * " : /> ' . From the knowledge of ti?« statistica! distribution oi resonance parameters and levei spacing, it is possible to generate a sequence of resonances over some energy, interval by a ramdom sampling method. These resonance parameters can then be used in the codes obovi? described, which have been developed for the resolved resonance region. Though the codes above introduced can be applied only for some limited cases, they have merits, respectively For example, the RICM-I «>de'' can treat only isolated resonances but it can treat fairly general geometries by an interpolation method of collision probability prepared beforehand. The R!FF RAFF!e"«nd RABBLK1" codes adopt an excellent calculation method of slowin-j-down source which serves lime and memory c«f computer to save, however the geometries treated by them are limited to be cylindrical and moderators must have constant scattering cross sections. On the other hand, the SDR code'-"' cor. treat fairly general problems, but the demerit is to consume long computer time The Monte Carlo procedure c»n treat quite general problems with complex geometry but it comsumes considerable computer time and yields neither eflwtive cros* sections nor fJux distributions. For general uses, we developed a code, PEACQ. for the FACOM 230/60 by taking the merits of the above codes in This code consist* of three subcode* : The first code prepares the resonance cross sectiont 8t ultra-hm groups, which wil! be presented in the section 4. The second calculates the coHisjof. probability at the discrete interpolation coordinates given beforehand, which will be shown m ihe section 5 The last one is the routine for the calculation of the flux distribution, the averaged cross sections, the activation, etc MERI 1219 2. Sch»m» ol PEACO Cod« A* mentioned in the introduction, FEACO code consists of three mam calculating inns. Computing time for resonance cross sections nerded for ilux distribution calculation usually takes half of total computing time or moie Mrtowr, the cross sections for a fixed enrrjiv range and temperature may repeatedly have io be calculated for different cases, if both the calcuiation parts of the resonance cross sections and of the flux are included in 8 rode Ifcncv. the first ;t»rt of the PEACO code (PEACO-MCROSS i calculates the resononre <ro« sections from resonance parameters over the resonance energy ranges needed for usual ralciilotions and the results are written in library tapes. This separation of the cross jertion part from the flu* part was uted also in the RICM nnd SDR codes. The PEACO-COLLIS code prepares collision probabilities ir: the geometry ol rylindrwa! rod or of slab at the specified values of the total cross section of resonance absorbing compositions, which are used as representative points for collision-probability interpolation later. As for the interpolation coordinate, we adopted one used in the RICM code. The inclusion of the collision-probability part into tha flux-calculation | irt will restrict the geometry that can be treat by a code, ot it may make a code for solving the nrutron slowing-tlown unnecessarily iarge. The separation of the collision-probability part will serve to save the computing time, when many calculations must be done for a fixed geometry. Kor more complicated geoms'tnes such as clustered fuel elements, collision probabilies should be calculated by other codes, as INPUT rnonanct paromatan, INPUT I tomparoturt, etc. eras] ttctioru of tte.

Mothod of Caiculating Neutron flux Distribution We shall consider * heterogeneous system which may be homogeneous in special case and may ferterally be infinite lattice of square or hexagonal cell, cylmdiicalized iattice or cluttered type fuel element. Thit sy»tem may consist of several compositions of which the comtpondmt numbers correspond generally io few different numbers of region, respectively. The re*on*n:e-«b*c»-binfl materials are contained in some compositions, which are called as rWl compositions and are restricted to the following two cases in present treatment. 1) Total eim* lection of each resonance-absorbing composition slightly differs fron others, respectively," for examples, by non-uniform distribution of temperature or of resonance ab*orb*r densities with fuel burnup. 2) All the fuel competitions have tiime temperature and relative rntio of resonance absorber densities at each compositiaw is tame as thmtt in others, respectively. For an example of *"U being only a resonance absorber in the system under consideration, anydensity-distribution of S0U will be permitted. ' ,^, Special attention should be paid for other kinds ol fael compositions except for the above two case*. We further tMuat that neutron ballance in such a *y*tem can be de*cribed by using thp irti flight collifion-probabiiitiei. In order to avoid the fl*t-flux assumption which shoultf usually be *i*umed in the cailiiion-probiibility method, we divide each region of the system into MM many mb-re^ion* a* nectt*»ty m po»»ible.

Because this storing is actually impossible, we provide another kind of groups for representiition of i;V(u) and St,k.(u) $ ; ( B ) , and these groups are called as fine group and usually have the Icthargy width of ten or twenty times of ultra-fine groups.

This representation of fa or 2,t$t by the fine group will lw reasonable considering from its sufficient narrowness and rather siow variation of the<u> quantities lh.au the resonance cross sections themself. Mainly important information in iho PEACO code is stored in variable dimensions of which sises are beforehand determined by input data for each problem. Hence, there i» no special limitation on group numbers of 4'\ or S^M's stored, unless. total variable dimensions necessary for calculation do not' exceed 34,000. We will later discuss the selecting method of the ultra-fine and fine groups and recommend a group structure there. 1) Therefore, from above discusxion, we can evaluate Eq.

For unresolved energy regions whetv are important !<jr ihe mh u)«tiun of Doppler coefficient o! fast reactors, however the statistics for the resonance parameters and level spacing is so complicated that its practical application is quite impossible''1. There is another expression, which was obtained by Vex,!*' •'".

Calculation of Coliition Probability A jireat number of methods have been proposed for the calculation of collision probabilities in various geometries. These methods have mainly used to calculate the group constants of thermal energy region in complex geometries. Since the resonance energy ranges of interest are extremely wider than thermal ranges, the geometries that can be treated by a code tire restricted, and various kinds of approximations had to be adopted for calculating method of collision probability for a complex geometry. For an example, Winner's rational approximation and Nordheim-Sauer's model*3" for collision probability has frequently usetl to estimate resonance absorption Even for a recent high-speed computer, however the inclusion of the caicuiatioiMti routine of collision probabilities for complex geometries in a code w\il consume considerable computer time. A simple and convenient method was prepared for calculating collision probabilities in RICM code- which estimated the resonance integral of isolated resonances m heterogeneous systems. This is a calculating method using the interpolation of collision probabilities beforehand prepared and is quite useful for many calculations in a fixed geometry or for a calculation of wider energy ranges. We adopted a method ba$ed on this interpolation for the estimation of P,,m in Eqs. (3-1!) and (3-12), and the PEACG-COLLIS prepares the collision probabilities at the specified values of total cros3 sections of fuel compositions in cylindrical or plane geometries. The PEACO-COLLIS consists of several subcodes which w«s develo(*e<i by K. TstxiilHASHl*". For a simple calculation of two region problem, she Nordbeim Sauer model is also prepared in the PEACO-MA1N to calculate the collision probability 5. 1 Nordhaim-Scutr't Mod*! for Cylindrical GooiMtry with Two ttqlem The approximate formula proposed for l'm(ii} by NOKJWIMM*' IS given by 1 — (1 —• Z ilira) (1 — G«) where Pa is the etcape probability from au isolated system, 1\ and li(~4\'i/$) are the total cros* section and mean chord-length of the system, S is the surface are* and Gm is the Oancoff coefficent. The combined use of this formula with S*uer's approximation231 for Gm is known to give * sufficient accuracy for two-regions problem in thermal reactor. This approximate formula by Sauer can be written for cylindrical geometries as C » = l - e x p { ~ r W i ) / f l + (l-r)^sfe], (5-2) with r(0.9069v'l+V'a/Vi"-lV(r J /V,)-0.aj (square) r 1(0.8863 v'l+tVv'i -l)/(V 2 /V ,)-0. 12 (hexagons!)

The function Z ( i ' ) makes one-to-one correspondence with 27 and tabes a value between 0 and 2 for a value of 1\. It is known that collision probabilities P.,(Z) for a fixed geomeSry vary quite smoothly for the variation of Z. The fifteen values of Z was used as the interpolating coordinates ot o quadratic interpolation method for collision probabilities in the R1CM-1 code. The coordinate Z is aJso used in PEACO cor!e. Fcr such a interpolation method, collision probabilities should beforehand be fitven at the specified values cJ '£, n",i thU ui!>.uUt>u<t la dose in :h? PEACO-COLLIS.

In this problem, the fife-regions problem is reduced to two-regions one where fuel rr>d has an averaged temperature, 1500 °K, and the mixed region of sodium bond, cladding and coolant is taken in outer region. For the simpficity, the resonance cross sections of ~"Pu are given by effective <?r«»s sections and MAOPT lor fflJPu i» assumed to be 3. The energy range treated emends from 7. 73 to 0. 1 keV.
