Abstract
Thorium molten salt reactor nuclear energy system (TMSR), which is the fourth generation advanced nuclear energy system, needs more advanced and reliable physical design. The reliability and accuracy of nuclear data has very important impact on the accuracy of nuclear design. According to the requirement of Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China Nuclear Data Center has developed a special nuclear data library CENDL-TMSR for thorium-uranium cycle, which includes evaluated nuclear data library and application libraries for criticality calculation and shielding design of thorium molten salt reactor. In order to verify and validate the reliability and applicability of the CENDL-TMSR, the criticality benchmarking and shielding benchmarking are carried out. The criticality testing results show that the relative errors between calculated k eff and experimental values for most benchmarks are within 0.5%, which indicates that the CENDL-TMSR can be used for physical design of thorium molten salt reactor. The shielding calculation results are consistent with the experimental ones, and the overall performances are better than other evaluated nuclear data libraries.
