摘　　要：为研究铀溶液多体系统的核临界安全特性,中国原子能科学研究院利用铀溶液核临界安全实验装置开展了两个系列的双平板式多体系统核临界安全实验,并完成了所有实验数据的不确定度分析和基准化。铀溶液多体系统由正对的两个相同尺寸的平板容器组成,平板容器之间的距离和隔离体能够改变,开展了距离效应和屏蔽效应共24个临界实验。根据国际核临界安全基准实验手册(ICSBEP)提出的不确定度分析方法进行了实验的不确定度分析,最大的总不确定度为200 pcm。建立了全部实验的详细基准模型,对两套蒙特卡罗软件与核截面数据库的组合计算特定系统k_(eff)的适用性进行了评价。两套组合的计算值与基准值的最大计算偏差分别为309.0 pcm和252.0 pcm,确认这两套组合均可用于相关系统的临界安全设计或安全分析。To increasing the production efficiency of nuclear fuel cycle,processing equipment with fissile materials is arranged closer to each other than before.The neutron interaction between units with fissile materials has a great influence on criticality safety of multiple-units.The reactivity effect of neutron interaction between two identical tanks containing 19.75%enriched uranyl nitrate solution with and without isolators was measured on uranyl nitrate solution experiment facility.The tank had 260 mm of thickness and 500 mm of width and distance between those two units was adjustable from 0 to 1000 mm.Condition of the solution was about 200 g/L in uranium concentration,about 0.8 mol/L in free nitric acidity,in room temperature.One tank was fixed,the other was movable in the direction perpendicular to the interacting surfaces.Different materials and thicknesses of isolators could be placed between two slab cores.In the series of distance effect experiment,the interacting surfaces separations were from 21.66 mm to 510 mm in 6 critical experiment cases.In the series of shielding effect experiment,five materials as stainless steel,ordinary concrete,polyethylene,borated polyethylene,water,with 3 or 4 thicknesses from 10 mm to 200 mm were placed in the center between the interacting surfaces in 18 critical experiment cases.Solution was fed into both tanks by independent metering cylinders,so the levels of two tanks could be same or different.In each experiment where the core distance was predetermined,or the isolator was placed,a critical approach was taken repeating solution fuel feeding of two tanks,solution level measurement and neutron counting.Around each critical solution level,a reactivity measurement was also performed using a digital reactivity meter by period method and inverse kinetics method to estimate a differential reactivity worth.The uncertainty analyses were carried out according to ICSBEP guides.The sources of uncertainty were from solution fuel,slab tanks,distance and isolators.Continuous energy Monte
