ABSTRACT

This report contains a bibliographic review and a critical analysis of different methodologies used for uncertainty evaluation in research reactors core safety related parameters. Different parameters where uncertainties are considered are also presented and discussed, as well as their intrinsic nature regarding the way their uncertainty combination must be done. Finally a combined statistical method with direct propagation of uncertainties and a set of basic parameters as wall and ONB temperatures, CHF, PRD and their respective ratios where uncertainties should be considered is proposed.
