UCOFGR
Fission gas release model for UCO
Description
Fission gas release represents the amount of fission gas that is released by the UCO kernel into the void volume of the TRISO particle (kernel and buffer porosities and buffer-inner pyrolytic carbon (IPyC) gap).
The functional relationships are partly derived from experimental data on UO and assumed valid for UCO due to lack of relevant UCO data.
Automatic differentiation is available using ADUCOFGR.
Validity Range
Burnup: assumed valid at all burnups (via fission rate density).
Temperature: assumed valid at all temperatures.
Fission Gas Release
The fission gas release (FGR), (mol), includes contributions from both direct recoil release and diffusive release:
(1) where (dimensionless) and (dimensionless) are the release fractions of fission gas by direct recoil and diffusion, respectively, and (mol) is the amount of fission gas produced in the kernel.
Direct Recoil
Direct kinetic release of fission gases from the kernel to the buffer is accounted for by geometrical considerations using a formulation taken from PARFUME (Miller et al., 2018). The fission gas mixture is assumed to be composed entirely of krypton (Kr) and xenon (Xe), the fission fragment ranges of which are derived from compiled experimental data. The fractional yields of Kr and Xe taken from PARFUME for use in the formulation (18.5 and 81.5%, respectively) are consistent with measured values in the open literature (Blades et al., 1956) (20.4 and 79.6%, respectively). The recoil fraction is therefore given by:
where (dimensionless) is the release fraction of species due to recoil.
The maximum release fraction of species due to recoil can be estimated by assuming that (1) the fission rate density is spatially uniform throughout the kernel and (2) all fission fragments are born with momentum oriented in the outward radial direction. The maximum fraction is then given by the ratio of (1) the volume of a spherical shell of thickness and outer radius to (2) the volume of the kernel with radius . Here, the shell thickness is the mean range of fission fragment in the kernel. Accounting for the isotropic distribution of initial fission fragment directions reduces potential recoil release by a factor of 75% (Olander, 1976). The resulting release fraction of species due to recoil is described by:
The mean range of fission fragment in UCO, , can be estimated from the weighted average of the mean ranges of fission fragment in pure uranium (U), carbon (C), and oxygen (O):
where (dimensionless) and (dimensionless) are the initial O to U and C to U ratios, respectively, and (kg/m) is the density of the kernel. The mean ion ranges of species in target material , , are taken from the literature (Littmark and Ziegler, 1980) using nominal ion energies of 107 MeV and 72 MeV for Kr and Xe, respectively (Morris et al., 2004). The values are summarized in Table 1 below.
Table 1: Mean ion ranges of Kr and Xe in pure U, C, and O (Littmark and Ziegler, 1980).
| Target material | U | C | O |
|---|---|---|---|
| (mg/cm) | 11.7 | 3.1 | 3.3 |
| (mg/cm) | 8.3 | 2.2 | 2.3 |
Booth Model
Diffusive release through kernel grains to the grain boundaries and subsequent transport through the interconnected porosity is estimated by the Booth equivalent sphere diffusion model (Booth, 1957).
The Booth release fraction for both short-lived () and long-lived () fission products is given by:
where (m) is the radius of the diffusing sphere (i.e., the average grain radius), (m/s) is the diffusivity of the fission gas in the grain, (s) is the time, , and .
The release of the fission products from the fuel kernel, during accident condition/isothermal heating tests, is approximated by solving the diffusion equation without source/sink terms (Verfondern, 2012). Thus, the Booth release fraction becomes (Booth, 1957):
(2)
Note that the adjustment for low flux is an approximation in the code. Once the fast neutron flux is less than or equal to the preset cut-off flux (via cutoff_neutron_flux), the fractional release is computed according to Eq. (2).
The unperturbed diffusion coefficient, (m/s), formulated for UO fuel by Turnbull et al. (1982), is given as:
where (m/s) for are the diffusion coefficients of the mechanisms controlling diffusion at different temperature ranges.
Diffusion coefficients used in PARFUME
Legacy TRISO fuel development programs have predominantly focused on UO fuel; consequently, most UCO kernel properties currently used in PARFUME are derived from experimental data on UO and assumed valid for UCO, due to lack of relevant UCO data. Following diffusion coefficients taken from PARFUME are implemented in BISON.
At the highest temperatures, diffusion proceeds through cation lattice by means of thermally activated vacancies:
where R=1.9872 cal k mol and (K) is the temperature of the kernel.
At intermediate temperatures, diffusion is driven by means of vacancies produced by the irradiation process:
where (m) is the atomic jump distance, () is the cation vacancy jump rate, () is the rate of defect production per atom, and Z (dimensionless) is the number of sites around a point defect from which recombination is inevitable. They are given by:
and
where K (10 defects/fission) is the damage rate and (FIMA) is the burnup. Note that PARFUME lists the atomic jump distance for UO as 3.0x m while it is listed as 3.87x m in Perriot et al. (2015).
Finally, at lower temperatures, a term proportional to the fission rate density, (fission/m-s), is used to agree with experimental results reported by Turnbull et al. (1982):
Diffusion coefficients computed by LANL's lower length scale models
Alternatively, BISON provides an option (use_diffusion_coefficients_from_LLS = true) to use diffusion coefficients for UCO fuel that were calculated from LANL's cluster dynamics code Centipede. The diffusion coefficients are fitted to exponential functions that can be used in BISON. The fitted equations for the , and terms are,
and
Effective diffusivity
BISON provides an option to use the effective diffusivity by setting use_effective_diffusivity = true. The effective diffusivity is described as
where () is the trapping rate, (s) is the resolution rate, and (ms) is the unperturbed diffusivity.
The trapping and resolution parameters are given by: and where m is the length of a fission fragment track, m is the radius of influence of a fission fragment, and is the fission rate density. The bubble radius and bubble density, and respectively, are given as (White and Tucker, 1983) and
Fission Gas Production
The amount of fission gas produced by the kernel, (mol), during a time interval (s), is calculated as:
where (dimensionless) is the combined fractional fission yield of krypton and xenon atoms per fission, (m) is the volume of the kernel, and (6.022x10 at/mol) is Avogadro's number.
The fission yield of {Kr+Xe} is equal to (Miller et al., 2018):
The fission yields come from TRISOUtils in BISON. Currently, this number is constant but it may be updated in the future.
