After the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi NPP, the attention of the scientific community is riveted on how the consequences are being eliminated. Removing corium – a lava-like resolidified mixture of nuclear fuel with other structural elements of the reactor – remains the most difficult task, the solution of which can take several decades. It is extremely important to exclude the occurrence of any emergency processes during the removal of corium. The purpose of this work was to solve a coordinated hydrodynamic and neutronic problem characterized by a large number of randomly oriented and irregularly located corium particles in water as part of the development of a benchmark for this class of problems. Monte Carlo-based precision codes were used to perform a neutronic analysis. The positions of corium particles were determined from the numerical simulation results. The analysis results obtained using the codes involved showed good agreement for all the states considered. It was shown that the modern neutronic codes based on the Monte Carlo method successfully cope with the geometric formation and solution of the problem with a nontrivial distribution of corium particles in water. The results of the study can be used to justify the safety of corium handling procedures, including its extraction from a damaged power unit.

AbstractThe results of the simulation of plasma fluxes onto the surface of rotating substrates during the combustion of a vacuum arc of the Cr–Ti–Mo cathode system are presented. The structure and composition of the arc-PVD Ti_0.15Cr_0.74Mo_0.11N_0.84 coatings are experimentally studied. The numerical simulation results of the coating structures based on experimental data were analyzed. The possibility of the simulation of the structure of multilayer, multicomponent coatings and the concentration distribution of chemical elements and its components is shown by calculating the plasma fluxes using the Monte Carlo method.

Good Agreement

We have used the Monte Carlo method based on theory of successive reflections and ray tracing to calculate the average normal directional effective emissivities of isothermal cylindrical-inner-cone cavities for various geometrical parameters. A simplified specular-directional diffuse reflection model was applied in our calculations for cavities working in the infrared spectral range. Our results are in good agreement comparing with what obtained by other authors. The algorithm developed by us has an advantage in simplicity and time saving of calculations. It can be used in blackbody cavity design considerations, especially in the cylindrical-inner-cone cases.

Abstract We investigate anisotropic light propagation in paper using both a theoretical model and experiments. The theoretical model utilizes the Monte Carlo method to solve the photon transport equation numerically. It is assumed that wood fibres are represented by infinitely long, homogeneous and straight cylinders. The layer-like microstructure and anisotropic orientation of the fibres is considered in the model. The conical scattering by cylindrical objects, the wood fibres, is argued as the main source of anisotropic scattering. Simulations revealed that laterally resolved transmittance exhibits directional dependence. Experiments on light transmitted through a standard kraft liner product confirmed that light in fact do propagate more in the machine direction than in the cross direction. Reasonably good agreement was obtained between experimentally and numerically obtained iso-intensity patterns.

Abstract In this work, the Klein–Nishina (K–N) approach was used to evaluate the electronic, atomic, and energy-transfer cross sections of four elements, namely, zinc (Zn), tellurium (Te), barium (Ba), and bismuth (Bi), for different photon energies (0.662 MeV, 0.835 MeV, 1.170 MeV, 1.330 MeV, and 1.600 MeV). The obtained results were compared with the Monte Carlo method (Geant4 simulation) in terms of mass attenuation and mass energy-transfer coefficients. The results show that the K–N approach and Geant4 simulations are in good agreement for the entire energy range considered. As the photon energy increased from 0.662 MeV to 1.600 MeV, the values of the energy-transfer cross sections decreased from 81.135 cm2 to 69.184 cm2 in the case of Bi, from 50.832 cm2 to 43.344 cm2 for Te, from 54.742 cm2 to 46.678 cm2 for Ba, and from 29.326 cm2 to 25.006 cm2 for Zn. The obtained results and the detailed information of the attenuation properties for the studied elements would be helpful in developing a new generation of shielding materials against gamma rays.
