Abstract in Spanish
La motivación del presente trabajo surge de la necesidad de analizar las incertezas asociadas a parámetros de ingeniería, con sus respectivas tolerancias y distribuciones probabilisticas. Tambien se tienen en cuenta las incertezas en datos nucleares, las cuales tienen un impacto directo sobre el cálculo de reactores. Se estudian dos metodologías de análisis de incertezas mostrando las ventajas y desventajas que presenta cada una de ellas y se llega a una conclusión respecto a qué metodología se utilizará en este trabajo. Utilizando dicha metodología, se procede a analizar las incertezas en observables debido a variaciones en parámetros de ingeniería y datos nucleares. Estos resultados podrían ser utilizadas para realizar una realimentación en el diseño de reactores de investigación. Por último, se proponen alternativas y mejoras para hacer más eficiente la metodología de análisis de incertezas.
Abstract in English
The motivation of this project raises from the need of analysing uncertainties asociated with design parameters, with their respective tolerance limits and probability distributions. It is necessary to take into account the uncertainty on nuclear data, which has a direct impact on reactor simulations. Two methodologies of uncertainty analysis are studied, by looking at their advantages and disadvantages. A conclusion is made about which method is more appropiate for this research. Using this methodology, we proceed to analyse the uncertainty of observables due to a variation on engineering parameters and nuclear data. These results could be used to make a feedback on the experimental reactor's design. Finally, we propose alternatives and improvements in order to make the uncertainty analysis methodology more efficient.
