Uncertainty quantification (UQ) of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) is a crucial task that provides
predictions and confidence bounds for important quantities of interest, such as decay heat …

In this paper, a new method is proposed to systematically calculate at the same time canister
loading curves and radiation sources, based on the inventory information from an in-core …

Presently, a criticality safety evaluation methodology for the final geological disposal of
Swiss spent nuclear fuel is under development at the Paul Scherrer Institute in collaboration …

Simulations of nuclear reactor physics can disagree significantly from experimental
evidence, even when the most accurate models are used. An important part of this bias from …

This paper presents a study of uncertainty quantification (UQ) of spent nuclear fuel isotope
inventory. Takahama-3 realistic assays were used for calculation to quantify the impact of …

This paper presents preliminary criticality safety assessments performed by the Paul
Scherrer Institute (PSI) in cooperation with the Swiss National Cooperative for the Disposal …

This paper presents an improved uncertainty quantification technique for the validation of
CASMO-5 on the spent fuel reactivity worth experiments of the LWR-PROTEUS Phase II …

In this paper, the possibilities and advantages of loading mixed used nuclear fuel (UNF)
assemblies into canisters for final repository are presented from a criticality aspect within the …

According to the Swiss disposal concept, the safety of a deep geological repository for spent
nuclear fuel (SNF) is based on a multi-barrier system. The disposal canister is an important …

ABSTRACT R&D works on the spent fuel criticality safety, including burnup credit, are
ongoing in Switzerland in relation to the preparation of a general license application for a …
