Abstract

The uncertainty propagation in fuel cycle calculations due to Nuclear Data (ND) is a important important issue for : issue for :
• Present fuel cycles (e.g. high burnup fuel programme)
• New fuel cycles designs (e.g. fast breeder reactors and ADS)
Different error propagation techniques can be used:
• Sensitivity analysis
• Response Response Surface Method Surface Method
• Monte Carlo technique
Then, p p , , in this paper, it is assessed the imp y pact of ND uncertainties on the decay heat and radiotoxicity in two applications:
• Fission Pulse Decay ( y Heat calculation (FPDH)
• Conceptual design of European Facility for Industrial Transmutation (EFIT)
