- 1. INTRODUCTION The safety criticality justification for the FCC3 and FCC4 containers is the subject of the note [1].
The goal of the present study is to justify the expansion of the neutronic cavity section from I I x I I (mm x mm) to I I x I I (mm x mm) in the FCC4v1 containers loaded with 17x17XL or 17x17EPR' **
assemblies. --
- 2. CODES AND VERSIONS Calculations are performed with the CRISTAL V1.1 package made up of:
CIGALES version 3.1 (computer version)
APOLLO2 version 2.5.5 MORET4 version 4.B.3 The version of the APOLLO2 built into this package uses sets of microscopic cross-sections based on the JEFF2.2 European evaluation.
The verification of CRISTAL V1.1 installation on our servers and computers is documented in the note
[2].
The use of the CRISTAL package is qualified for the present study by applying an uncertainty of I I I I to the calculated Keff (K effcal), according to report [3]. In the pr esent report, all the given reactivity *
- values take this uncertainty into account.
- 3. COMPUTATION AND MODELLING HYPOTHESES The different configurations in this study are:
An array of 10x16x1 (N=80) damaged packages under Accident Conditions of Transport (ACT) with I I (penalizing case cf. §5.3.2 of [1]).
The detailed geometric description is given in [1]. T he principal characteristics of the package and the -
assemblies taken from the report [1] are:
FCC4 v1b container under ACT (cf. §4.1 of [1]), with a neutronic cavity section enlarged to I I x I I (mm x mm) instead of I I x I I (mm x mm),
17x17XL et 17x17EPR' assemblies under ACT, with an enrichment of 5% in 235U (cf. §4.3 of
[1]), with :
Maximal pellet diameter : I I mm (cf. table 2 of [1]),
Minimal cladding outside diameter : I I mm (cf. table 2 of [1]),
Non expanded fissile section (2/3 of the asse mbly length): I I x I I (mm x mm),
Expanded fissile section (1/3 of the assembly length): I I x I I (mm x mm) instead of I I x I I (mm x mm),
Resin under ACT (cf. §4.2 of [1]). --

- 4. RESULTS All the calculations are realized with a st atistical uncertainty of I I The results for the 10x16x1 array of packages (N=80) under ACT are given in the table hereunder: -
Proprietary table
Nota : Keffmax = Keffcal + I I The results obtained with the I I x I I (mm x mm) section are consistent with those given in the paragraph §5.3.2 of [1] where the statistical uncertainty was I I (I I) (cf. [3]). -- --
- 5. CONCLUSION This study justifies that the enlargement of the neutroni c cavity section from I I x I I (mm x mm) to I I x I I (mm x mm) does not modify the conclusi ons of the report [1], The safety-criticality criterion
- ** (Keffmax 0.95) is still met.
