10.
Criticality safety personnel shall demonstrate a working level knowledge of
critical and subcritical experiments.
Supporting Knowledge and/or Skills
a.
Describe the types of data derived from critical experiments and its use in
criticality safety.
b.
Discuss the physics of critical experiments including fundamental concepts
associated with critical experiments (e.g. six factor formula, approach to critical,
reactivity insertion, multiplication, reactor kinetics, reactivity changes, etc.).
c.
Participate in a criticality experiment demonstration.
11.
Criticality safety personnel shall demonstrate a working level knowledge of
computer codes used in criticality safety evaluations.
Supporting Knowledge and/or Skills
a.
Develop input model for one monte carlo and one deterministic code (i.e., MONK,
VIM, SCALE, MCNP, DANTSYS, ANISN, COG).
b.
Describe how cross section data impact Monte Carlo and deterministic codes.
c.
Describe the importance of validation of computer codes and how accomplished.
d.
Describe the methodology supporting Monte Carlo codes and deterministic
codes.
e.
Describe advantages and pitfalls of Monte Carlo calculations and deterministic
codes.
f.
The diffusion theory model is not strictly valid for treating fissile systems in which
neutron absorption, voids, and/or material boundaries are present. In the context
of these limitations, identify a fissile system for which a diffusion theory solution
would be adequate.
g.
Discuss the International Handbook of Evaluated Criticality Safety Benchmark
Experiments Handbook, including its purpose, accessibility, and application to
computer code validation.
12.
Criticality safety personnel shall demonstrate a working level knowledge of
development of criticality safety evaluations.
Supporting Knowledge and/or Skills
a.
Prepare two criticality safety evaluations for two different applications selected
from those listed in f., g. and i. below.
b.
Describe development of contingency analysis and controls.
