Abstract

Uncertainties of response parameters such as ⁹⁹Mo yield ratio, ²³⁹Pu yield ratio, annual ⁹⁹Mo production rate, and minimum required decontamination factor were evaluated for fission Mo production in HANARO reactor with two kinds of fuel options, high enriched uranium and low enriched uranium fuel target. In this study, the reactor physics parameters of reactor core, manufacturing tolerance and composition tolerance of target were considered as sources of uncertainty. Crude Monte Carlo method was applied in a data sampling step. It was shown that there is no critical process to be controlled in case of HEU target option. Uncertainties of response parameters were relatively small. However, the inherent uncertainty from current fabrication process for LEU fuel film should be reduced for acceptable quality in Mo production. Uncertainty in annual production rate induced by this parameter showed about 20% in 95% confidence level.
