Abstract

The uncertainty quantification is an indispensable part for the validation of the nuclear safety best-estimate codes. However, the uncertainty quantification usually requires the combination of statistical analysis software and nuclear reactor professional codes, and it consumes huge computing resources. In this paper, a design method of coupling interface between DAKOTA Version 6.16 statistical software and nuclear reactor professional simulation codes is proposed, and the integrated computing workflow including interface pre-processing, code batching operations, and interface post-processing can be realized. On this basis, an integrated framework of uncertainty quantification is developed, which is characterized by visualization, convenience, and efficient computing. Meanwhile, a typical example of small-break LOCA analysis of the LOBI test facility was used to validate the reliability of the developed integrated framework of uncertainty quantification. This research work can provide valuable guidance for developing an autonomous uncertainty analysis platform in China.
