17、SI/ANS-8.15-2014Inquiry FormatAmerican National Standard ANSI/ANS-8.15-2014-i-American National Standard ANSI/ANS-8.15-2014(This Foreword is not a part of American National Standard “Nuclear Criticality Safety Control of Selected Actinide Nuclides,” ANSI/ANS-8.15-2014.)This standard provides guidanc

18、e for the prevention of criticality accidents in the handling, storing, processing, and transportation of nineteen selected actinide nuclides. The revision revises most of the subcritical limits for the original fourteen nuclides in the 1981 standard and adds five additional nuclides, bringing the t

19、otal number of nuclides to nineteen. The nuclides were selected on the basis that they have half-lives greater than 45 days and it is judged there is sufficient knowledge of their physical properties to support evaluation of subcritical mass limits. The working group has elected to change the title

20、of the standard by referring to “selected actinide nuclides” rather than “special actinide elements.” This is the first revision of ANS-8.15 since its publication in 1981. ANS-8.15 is intended to be complementary to ANSI/ANS-8.1-2014 by providing technical nuclear criticality safety guidance for nuc

21、lides other than 233U, 235U, and 239Pu.In Footnote 5, the 1981 standard speculates that 232U and 236Pu may be “exceptions” to the correlation of critical mass with the even-number and odd-number neutron of the nuclide. Both nuclides are included in the scope of this revision with 236Pu appearing in

22、Table 2, clearly breaking the correlation. No significant advancement in understanding the criticality of californium isotopes has occurred since 1981. Consequently, the water-reflected subcritical limits for the californium isotopes 249Cf and 251Cf are brought forward to this revision unmodified fr

23、om the original standard. In addition, isotopic mixtures of plutonium, americium, and curium are not addressed in this revision. Instead, this topic has been moved from Section 6.1 of the 1981 version to an Appendix (called Appendix A). The revised standard urges users to calculate subcritical limit

24、s for mixtures using modern methods rather than use the 1981 tables. Currently, the usage of the words fissionable and fissile within the community is not consistent (see “The Heritage and Usage of the Words Fissionable and Fissile in Criticality,” Norman L. Pruvost, J. Eric Lynn and Charles D. Harm

25、on, II, LA-UR-04-6514, Los Alamos National Laboratory, September 2004). Since ANS standards can be viewed as models of proper usage, the working group has chosen to omit these words from the revision. “Modern Fission Theory for Criticality,” J. Eric Lynn, LA-14098, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Fe

26、bruary 2004, examines the understanding gained during the forty-five years since the formulation of the structure underlying the original 1981 Appendix A (primarily from “Considerations on the Probability of Nuclear Fission,” R. Vandenbosch and G. T. Seaborg, The Physical Review, 110 (2), 507-513, A

27、pril 1958) and concludes that its basis is empirical, unexplained, and “totally outmoded” (LA-14098) thus, the original 1981 Appendix A has been removed. Appendix B of the original standard was mostly composed of technical reference material and is reproduced from the original standard with no attem

28、pt to update any of the information.This standard might reference documents and other standards that have been superseded or withdrawn at the time the standard is applied. A statement has been included in the references section that provides guidance on the use of references.This standard does not i

29、ncorporate the concepts of generating risk-informed insights or a graded approach to quality assurance. The user is advised that one or more of these techniques could enhance the application of this standard.This standard was prepared by the ANS-8.15 Working Group of the American Nuclear Society. Th

32、pproval of this standard was as follows:L. Paulson (Chair), GE Hitachi Nuclear EnergyB. O. Kidd (Vice Chair), Babcock however, there are also other isotopes of uranium, pluto-nium, and other elements within the actinide group that are capable of supporting a chain re-action and that may be encounter

33、ed in sufficient quantities to cause concern. In many practical conditions, these nuclides may be dispersed with an effective concentration smaller than that re-quired to achieve criticality for a homogeneous metal-water mixture of infinite dimensions. This revision provides guidance for such condit

34、ions in Table 3 by tabulating subcritical concentration limits (and the associated minimum hydrogen to fissile atom ratios), which are about one-half the estimated critical concentration limit. The experimental data for nuclides other than 233U, 235U, and 239Pu are dramatically fewer. Consequently,

35、calculation results based on eval-uated neutron cross sections play a major role in providing the basis for guidance in this stan-dard. The subcritical limits in the standard are in some cases substantially less than the esti-mated minimum critical values. No experimen-tal systems containing the nuc

36、lides in the scope of this standard have achieved criticality based solely on the neutronic properties of the nuclide. Some experimental data are available for esti-mating the critical mass of 237Np and 242Pu where critical experiments have been performed with substantial fractions of these two nucl

37、ides.For the purpose of this standard, the nuclides selected are actinides having half-lives greater than 45 days.2 ScopeThis standard is applicable to operations with the following nuclides:232U, 234U, 237Np, 236Pu, 238Pu, 240Pu, 241Pu, 242Pu, 241Am, 242mAm, 243Am, 242Cm , 243Cm, 244Cm, 245Cm, 246C
