摘要
Dispersed particle-type systems cannot be described with traditional neutronics calculation programs because of the double-heterogeneity (DH), and the direct use of Volumetric Homogenization Method (VHM) will bring reactivity calculation deviation. In this paper, by analyzing the calculation deviation of volumetric homogenization reactivity of dispersed particle fuel and different types of dispersed particle burnable poison and its relationship with optical length, it is proposed that the influence factors of calculation deviation shall be integrated into corrected optical length. The physical boundary of double-heterogeneity of dispersed particle-type system is proposed. When the corrected optical length is greater than 10−4, the reactivity calculation deviation of the volumetric homogenization method will be more than 100pcm, so the double-heterogeneity of the dispersed particle-type system needs to be taken into account.
