Sensitivities of k∞ and nuclides number densities during nuclear fuel burnup with respect to nuclear data are calculated with a reactor physics code system CBZ. Sensitivity calculations are carried out with the depletion perturbation theory applicable to nuclear fuel assemblies including burnable absorbers. Numerical results are presented both for BWR and PWR assemblies, and those demonstrate usefulness and effectiveness of burnup sensitivity calculation capabilities for LWR fuel assemblies.

In the present paper, firstly, we review our previous works on uncertainty quantification (UQ) of reactor physics parameters. This consists of (1) development of numerical tools based on the depletion perturbation theory (DPT), (2) linearity of reactor physics parameters to nuclear data, (3) UQ of decay heat and its reduction, and (4) correlation between decay heat and β-delayed neutrons emission. Secondly, we show results of extensive calculations about UQ on decay heat with several different numerical conditions by the DPT-based capability of a reactor physics code system CBZ.
