Fuel rod gamma-ray spectrometry was performed for five-cycle irradiated BWR 9� 9-9 and 9� 9-7fuel assemblies, and relative rod-by-rod FP inventory distributions of 137Cs, 134Cs, 106Ru, 95Zr and 154Euwere obtained for lower and upper axial nodes of the assemblies. The inventories of these nuclidesrepresent burnups, burnups multiplied by a thermal neutron flux, a buildup of Pu, and a fission rate at theend of a fuel discharge cycle. The measured distributions were compared with those calculated by ageneral purpose neutronics code system SRAC and a continuous energy Monte Carlo burnup calculationcode MVP-BURN with infinite assembly models. The calculations adopted nuclear data libraries JENDL-3.2, -3.3, and ENDF/B-VI.8. The calculated results generally well reproduce the measured distributions,and the root mean square errors (RMSs) of the calculated results against the measurements are 1 to 2% forthe inventory distributions of 137Cs, 2 to 4% for 134Cs, 2 to 5% for 106Ru, 3 to 4% for 95Zr, and 4 to 5% for154Eu, which include measurement and analysis errors. Small differences in the calculated distributionsbetween SRAC and MVP-BURN were observed for 134Cs, 106Ru, and 154Eu for some of the corner rods,Gd2O3-UO2 rods, and other rods in the 9� 9-7 fuel assembly.
KEYWORDS: rod-by-rod FP inventory distribution, 137Cs, 134Cs, 106Ru, 95Zr, 154Eu, gamma-rayspectrometry, BWR, 9� 9 fuel assembly, SRAC code system, MVP-BURN code
I. Introduction
Rod-by-rod power distributions in fuel assemblies areessential parameters in core design and analysis especiallyrelated to thermal margins such as maximum linear heatgeneration rates and minimum critical power ratios forBWR cores. Verification work of the distributions has com-monly been performed using measured data of power dis-tributions of zero-power core physics experiments withfresh mock up fuel assemblies.1–3) However, studies on burntfuel assemblies are sparse, since such measurements usuallyhave to be done in postirradiation examination facilities.Misu et al.4) have reported experimental data of rod-by-rod distributions of 140Ba on irradiated BWR 9� 9-1 UO2
and MOX assemblies, which represent fission rate distribu-tions. They obtained the data by gamma scanning in a burntfuel storage pool of a 1,300MWe BWR plant. Yamamotoand Yamamoto5) have reported a study on the analyses of therod-by-rod inventory distributions of 137Cs, 134Cs, 106Ru, and95Zr of 8� 8-4 UO2 assemblies irradiated in a 1,100MWeBWR plant.
In order to extend the validation data on core design andanalyses of burnt fuel assemblies, rod-by-rod FP inventorydistributions were measured by gamma-ray spectrometry fortwo burnt BWR 9� 9 UO2 fuel assemblies, which are 9� 9-9 and 9� 9-7 fuel assemblies irradiated in a 1,100MWeBWR plant. The former fuel assembly has a water channelreplacing nine fuel rods in the center of the assembly, andthe latter two water rods replacing seven fuel rods. Burnupcalculations with infinite assembly models were performedby taking into account the irradiation histories of the assem-blies, and the calculated results were compared with themeasured data. The first part of the present paper givesdescriptions about the data of the rod-by-rod FP inventorydistributions, the second part shows the comparison of thedata with the calculated results, and the third part presentsdiscussion and conclusions.

UO2 fuel in July 1996 and discharged in January 2003for postirradiation examinations.6) Figure 1 shows loadinglocations of the assemblies.6) Both assemblies had not beenloaded in the peripheral region of the core during irradiation.The assembly average burnups are 53.5 and 53.0 GWd/t forthe 9� 9-9 and 9� 9-7 fuels, respectively. The postirradia-tion examinations include axial gamma-ray spectrometry ofspecific gamma rays from FP nuclides with Ge detectors.The numbers of fuel rods under the examinations weretwelve and twenty-five fuel rods for the 9� 9-9 and 9� 9-7 fuels, respectively. Figure 2 shows enrichment distribu-tions of the assemblies6,7) and the fuel rod locations in the
assemblies for the gamma-ray measurements.6) Since the9� 9-9 and 9� 9-7 fuels have one-eighth and one-fourthsymmetries in nuclear design on enrichment and Gd2O3-UO2 rod distributions, the twelve and twenty-five rods wereselected for the gamma-ray spectrometry, respectively. Thegamma-ray measurements were performed in September andOctober in 2004 for the 9� 9-9 fuel at the Japan AtomicEnergy Agency and April 2005 in the Nippon Nuclear FuelDevelopment Co., Ltd. for the 9� 9-7 fuel.6) Table 2 showsthe FP nuclides and the relevant specific gamma rays for themeasurements. For each fuel rod, gamma rays were scannedin an axial direction by a Gd detector installed in a shielding

collimator. The fuel rod was arranged such that the detectoralways saw the fuel rod in the direction from ‘‘j’’ to ‘‘a’’ inFig. 1 for the 9� 9-9 fuel, and the detector saw the rodsurface that gave the average intensity of gross gamma raysmeasured in the azimuthal direction of the fuel rod for the9� 9-7 fuel.
Necessary corrections were performed for the decay ofradioactivities during measurement periods to normalize thegamma-ray intensity at a fixed date. In order to convert thegamma-ray intensity distributions to relative inventory dis-tributions for comparison with those of burnup calculations,corrections for differences in gamma-ray transmission fac-tors between the UO2 and Gd2O3-UO2 rods are necessaryand were performed similarly to that described in Ref. 5).Relative inventory distributions were obtained for two hor-izontal planes at the lower and upper axial heights of the fuelassembly, which exhibit a difference in in-channel voidfraction. The axial heights were selected to be the middleof the 5th and 6th nodes (5/6 node) and the 18th node for the9� 9-9 fuel assembly, and the 5/6 node and the middle ofthe 18th and 19th nodes (18/19 node) for the 9� 9-7 fuelassembly. Here, the axial length of the node is one-twenty-fourth of an effective fuel length of about 371 cm, and thefirst and 24th nodes are the bottom and top of the effective
fuel length, respectively. The measured relative FP inventorydistributions are shown in Figs. 3 and 4 for the 9� 9-9 and9� 9-7 fuel assemblies, respectively, where the measuredvalues are normalized so that their average value is 1.0 foreach node. Figure 5 schematically shows the relative FPinventory distributions for the 18th node of the 9� 9-9 fuelassembly as an example. The measurement errors based onthe gamma-ray counting statistics are 0.1 to 0.5% for 137Cs,0.2 to 0.5% for 134Cs, 0.6 to 1.2% for 106Ru, and 3 to 6% for95Zr in the measurements of the 9� 9-9 fuel,8) and 0.4 to0.5% for 137Cs, 0.4 to 0.5% for 134Cs, 1.2 to 1.5% for 106Ru,and 2.6 to 3.1% for 154Eu in the measurements of the 9� 9-7fuel.9)
III. Burnup Calculations of Rod-by-Rod FP Inven-tory Distributions
Burnup calculations were performed for the lower andupper nodes for each assembly, which correspond to themeasurements. The calculations adopted an infinite assemblymodel, taking into account the irradiation histories of therelevant axial nodes such as the node average power and thein-channel void fractions, which were provided by the utilityas records of a core monitoring system of the relevant plant.For the 5/6 and 18/19 nodes, irradiation histories wereobtained by averaging those of the 5th and 6th nodes, andthe 18th and 19th nodes, respectively.
1. Deterministic AnalysisBurnup calculations were made using a general purpose
neutronics code system SRAC10) with a 107 neutron energygroup and a collision probability module for neutron spec-trum calculations. Resonance cross sections were obtainedby a hyperfine energy group calculation module PEACO.10)
As the nuclear data libraries, JENDL-3.211) and JENDL-3.312) were used for the 9� 9-9 fuel, and JENDL-3.3 andENDF/B-VI.813) were used for the 9� 9-7 fuel. The burnupsteps in these calculations were selected not to be larger than0.25GWd/t until a burnable poison (Gd2O3) was burned out,

which is the node average burnup of 15GWd/t. After15GWd/t, a burnup step of 1.0GWd/t was applied. Thecalculated results are shown in Table A1 in Appendix.
2. Monte Carlo AnalysisBurnup calculations were also performed using a contin-
uous energy Monte Carlo burnup calculation code MVP-BURN14) for the same nodes of the SRAC calculations. Thenuclear data libraries used are the same as those used in the
SRAC calculations. Applying the predictor-corrector option,a burnup step was set to be 1.0GWd/t until the node averageburnup of 15GWd/t and 5GWd/t after this burnup. Foreach burnup step, fifty batches with 10,000 neutron historiesper batch were calculated and the initial ten batches wereskipped for a statistical process. This makes a statistical error(1�) of infinite multiplication factors of around 0.1%dk anda pellet average burnup of about 0.1%.15) The calculatedresults are shown in Table A2 in Appendix.
IV. Comparison between Calculated and MeasuredResults
1. 9� 9-9 Fuel AssemblyFigure 6 shows a comparison between the calculated re-
sults by SRAC with JENDL-3.2 and the measurements forthe relative distributions for the 9� 9-9 fuel. The pointsaround the measured relative peaking around 0.8 for 137Csand 134Cs correspond to the Gd2O3-UO2 rods with relativelylower enrichments and lower burnups. The figure shows thatthe measured relative distributions are well reproduced bythe burnup calculations; however, the deviations from thelines with the calculations equal to the measurements in-crease with measurement error. Figure 7 also shows thesame comparison for the calculated results of MVP-BURNwith JENDL-3.2 and Table 3 shows root mean square errors(RMSs) in the differences between the calculated and meas-ured results.

Table A1 in Appendix gives a comparison of the calcu-lated results between SRAC and MVP-BURN. Figure 8schematically shows examples of the comparison for 137Csand 106Ru. The comparison indicates that the differences inthe calculated results between SRAC and MVP-BURN are
less than 1.5% for most FP nuclides. The deviations of 1.5 to2.0% are exceptionally observed in the 5/6 node of a cornerrod (j, 9) for the four FP nuclides; however, the calculatedresults of MVP-BURN are not always closer to the measure-ments than those of SRAC.

Table A2 in Appendix gives the comparisons of thecalculated results between SRAC and MVP-BURN.Figure 11 schematically shows the examples of the com-parison for 137Cs and 106Ru. The comparison indicatesthat the differences in the calculated results between SRACand MVP-BURN are less than 1.5% for most cases. Theexceptions larger than 1.5% are observed for 134Cs, 106Ru,and 154Eu in some of the corner rods and Gd2O3-UO2
rods, and the rod (D, 4); the calculated results of MVP-BURN are generally closer to the measurements thanthose of SRAC. The point of the calculated peaking by
MVP-BURN equal to about 1.0 in the 18/19 node for106Ru corresponds to the rod (D, 4), and the calculationof SRAC gives underestimation. The neutron energy spec-tra of these fuel rods are largely different from those ofthe other rods since they adjoin the moderator of an out-channel gap or water rods, or contain a burnable poisonGd2O3.
On the other hand, the differences in the calculated resultsbetween JENDL-3.3 and ENDF/B-IV.8 are less than 1.0%and negligibly small even though the comparison is notshown.

V. Discussion
The experimental errors mentioned in the previous sec-tions reflect the counting statistics of gamma rays. One of thepossible systematic errors would come from azimuthal dis-tributions of gamma-ray intensity. Figure 12 shows the
measurement data for normalized gross gamma-ray intensitydistributions in arbitrary azimuthal angles in the upperpart of typical fuel rods of the 9� 9-7 fuel. The largestdeviation from the average value (¼ 1:0) is about 3% forthe (D, 4) rod and 2% for the others. Even though a dif-ference exists between the countermeasures against these

distributions for the measurements of the 9� 9-9 and9� 9-7 fuels as mentioned in the previous section, thesedistributions would cause systematic errors in the measuredFP distributions.
Another possible systematic errors would come from theeffect of the adjacent fuel assemblies loaded with the rele-vant fuel assemblies. The measurement data include someerrors attributed to this effect since these data were directlycompared with the burnup calculations with the infiniteassembly model, which neglects this effect. For the 9� 9-7 fuel, the (F,1) and (A,6) rods are symmetrically locatedfrom each other in the nuclear design as seen in Fig. 2, andthe calculations give the same FP inventories; however, themeasurements in Fig. 4 show a systematical trend indicatingthat the (F,1) rod gives larger inventories than the (A,6) rodfor all FP nuclides in the 5/6 node and part of nuclides inthe 18/19 node. This is probably due to the effect of theadjacent fuel assemblies.
VI. Conclusions
The calculated results of SRAC and MVP-BURN gener-ally well reproduce the measured rod-by-rod inventory dis-tributions of 137Cs, 134Cs, 106Ru, 95Zr, and 154Eu of the five-cycle irradiated 9� 9-9 and 9� 9-7 fuel assemblies. TheRMSs of the calculated results against the measured ones are1 to 2% for the inventory distributions of 137Cs, 2 to 4% forthose of 134Cs, 2 to 5% for those of 106Ru, 3 to 4% for thoseof 95Zr, and 4 to 5% for those of 154Eu, which include themeasurement and analysis errors. Small differences in thecalculated distributions between SRAC and MVP-BURNwere observed for 134Cs, 106Ru, and 154Eu in some of thecorner rods, Gd2O3-UO2 rods, and other rods for the 9� 9-7fuel.
