GLOBAL EVALUATION OF PROMPT DOSE RATES IN ITER USING HYBRID MONTE CARLO/DETERMINISTIC TECHNIQUES

摘要

The hybrid Monte Carlo (MC)/deterministic techniques - Consistent Adjoint Driven Importance Sampling (CADIS) and Forward Weighted CADIS (FW-CADIS) - enable the full 3-D modeling of very large and complicated geometries. The ability of performing global MC calculations for nuclear parameters throughout the entire ITER reactor was demonstrated. The 2 m biological shield (bioshield) reduces the total prompt operational dose by six orders of magnitude. The divertor cryo-pump port results in a peaking factor of 120 in the prompt operational dose rate behind the bioshield of ITER. The equatorial port, plugged by 2 m of shielding, increases the prompt dose rate behind the bioshield by a factor of 47. The peak values of the prompt dose rates at the back surface of the bioshield were 240 μSv/hr and 94 μSv/hr corresponding to the regions behind the divertor cryo-pump port and the equatorial port, respectively.
