Illustrating Important Effects of Second-Order Sensitivities on Response Uncertainties in Reactor Physics
This paper illustrates the relative importance of the largest first- and second-order sensitivities of the leakage response of an OECD/NEA reactor physics benchmark (a polyethylene-reflected plutonium sphere) to the benchmark’s underlying total cross sections. It will be shown that numerous 2nd-orde...
