IFBAHeProduction
Computes the helium gas production as a result of an IFBA layer applied to the surface of a fuel rod.
Description
IFBAHeProduction computes the Helium gas production as a result of an IFBA layer applied to the surface of a fuel rod.
An integral fuel burnable absorber (IFBA) is used for optimizing fuel assembly reactivity and power distribution in a core. The IFBA is usually applied as a thin layer of ZrB over some length of a fuel rod. The boron-10 isotope in the IFBA material absorbs a neutron and results in a lithium and helium atom according to the following reaction: (1)
In addition, the IFBA layer is depleted very quickly and is typically used up in the first 3 percent of burnup or 18 months of exposure.
Helium Production
Since the IFBA layer is normally on the order of a few microns thick, the helium atoms generated are assumed to be released immediately into the plenum.
Two models for the helium gas production (i.e., boron-10 depletion) have been implemented in BISON. The first model uses an equation based on burnup (Lee et al., 2012) and the second is the model used in FRAPCON (K. J. Geelhood et al., 2015).
Burnup Based Model
This burnup based equation for boron-10 depletion was generated using a DeCART depletion calculation (Lee et al., 2012) for boron in an IFBA rod. The effects of boron concentration and U-235 enrichment were studied. In addition, an improved approximation for the time dependency of U-235 number density decrease and fissile plutonium production resulted in the following relationship for the number density of boron-10: (2) where is the boron-10 number density at time , is the initial boron-10 number density, is the U-235 enrichment, and is the burnup. The values of the parameters are given in Table 1.
Table 1: Parameters for the Evolution of Boron-10 Density with Burnup, Eq. (2) (Lee et al., 2012)
| Parameter | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 1.59389 | -0.00773 | 0.01051 |
FRAPCON Model
In FRAPCON the helium production rate is derived using an MCNP calculation for boron depletion. The empirical fit to this calculation is (3) where is the helium production rate (number of atoms/cm-s), is the percent of IFBA rods in a reactor core (this value is limited to the range of 10 percent to 50 percent), and is the Boron-10 enrichment (percent) (restricted to 0 to 90 percent). The values of the parameters are given in Table 2.
Table 2: Parameters for the Empirical Fit to the MCNP Calculation for He Production Rate, Eq. (3) (K. J. Geelhood et al., 2015)
| Parameter | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Value |
The implementation of this empirical relationship in the FRAPCON code (K. J. Geelhood et al., 2015) uses the following form to calculate the helium production rate (4) where is the linear power in kW/ft, is the density of ZrB (g/cm), and the coefficients are given in Table 3.
Table 3: Parameters for the Numerical Implementation of the He Production Rate, Eq. (4) (K. J. Geelhood et al., 2015)
| Parameter | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Value |
Then the boron depletion rate is a function of , given as (5)
Input Parameter Conventions
The parameters listed in Table 4 are used to calculate the initial number density of boron-10 atoms and therefore the limiting value for the moles of He gas generated by the IFBA material. Note that the units used by BISON differ from the units generally used in industry; the user must convert the input arguments to the appropriate BISON units.
Table 4: Input Parameters for IFBA Postprocessor
| Parameter | Typical Units | BISON Units |
|---|---|---|
| ZrB Loading | mg/in | kg/m |
| B-10 Loading | mg/in | kg/m |
| IFBA Length | cm | m |
| B-10 Enrichment | % | fraction |
| ZrB Density | % TD | kg/m |
| or | ||
| ZrB Thickness | m | m |
| Fuel Outer Radius | cm | m |
The model specific parameters for the two equations are listed in Table 5.
In addition, the burnup model Eq. (2) requires a postprocessor to provide the average burnup in the fuel and the FRAPCON model Eq. (3) requires a postprocessor to provide the rod average linear power.

# 2-D RZ One Pellet Test - IFBA using Xenon as fill gas
#
# This test is of a single pellet with cladding and a specified initial
# pressure of Xe fill gas. In addition, an IFBA layer is added which will
# generate He gas to be added to the plenum. The postprocessor interior_temp
# should be the same as the pure Xe test case initially and as the He gas is
# added to the plenum from the IFBA, the interior_temp value should approach
# the He fill gas test case (both in the doc subdirectory).
#
# This model demonstrates that the gas conductance for the plenum is being
# updated for the He gas generated by the IFBA layer.

# 2-D RZ One Pellet Test - Coarse mesh example of IFBA layer
#
# This is an input template for a fast running example using the IFBA
# postprocessor. All of the possible ways to specify the IFBA layer are run
# using this template in a regression test format.
#
# The expected ouputs for each test depends on the model equation being used
# to calculate the He produced. For the burnup based equation, the He moles
# released at the end of the calculation is 1.4897e-6. A hand calculation is
# reproduced in the Excel spreadsheet IFBA_He_Calc included in the test
# directory. The burnup equation result computed for the same inputs is
# 1.4902e-6.
#
# Using the FRAPCON equation calculates a rate of He production, so comparing
# the first couple of time steps of the simulation to the hand calculation is
# more straightforward. Comparing the BISON results to the hand calculation is
#
# Time(s) He Prod (BISON) He Prod (Excel)

#
# 2-D RZ One Pellet IFBA Test - IFBA He generation only
#
# This test is of a single pellet with cladding and a specified initial
# pressure of He fill gas and IFBA layer .
# The initial loading of B-10 is converted to He gas and adds to the
# plenum pressure. No fission gas production is included in this model. This
# allows the effect of the IFBA layer to be seen clearly.
#
# The power is ramped up and held constant to heat the fill gas and establish
# an initial "hot" pressure. Since there is no fission gas production or
# release in this model, the pressure at temperature should be able to be
# calculated and compared to the BISON result.
#
# This case builds on the baseline case. The amount of He added due to IFBA
# can be calculated and the BISON result checked.
#
# This input template is used for a set of tests exercising the main input
# options for the IFBA postprocessor.
