ECAR-5139 MARVEL Radiological Source Term

As part of the Microreactor Applications Research Validation and Evaluation Project (MARVEL) design effort, a preliminary end of life reactor fuel radiological source term is calculated in support of the MARVEL preliminary hazard evaluation. The source term calculation assumes a two-year uninterrupted operating life at a power of about 111 kW for a total energy of 7,000,000 MJ. A final source term for the final hazard evaluation will need to be generated or an evaluation performed to determine the applicability of the source term documented here for use in the final hazard evaluation.

ECAR-6076 Rev 0 MARVEL Reactor End of Life Enveloping Radiological Source Term

As part of the Microreactor Applications Research Validation and Evaluation Project (MARVEL) design effort, an enveloping end of life radiological source term for the reactor fuel and sodiumpotassium (NaK) eutectic coolant is calculated in support of the MARVEL preliminary hazard evaluation. The source term calculation assumes slightly more than two-years of uninterrupted operations at a power of about 120 kW for a total energy of 7,600,000 MJ which exceeds the planned two-year operation at 100 kW. The Reactor modeling was performed with MCNP6 Version 1.0 and the depletion was performed using the COUPLE and ORIGEN modules from the SCALE Version 6.2 code package.
