The random sampling technique using SCALE6.2.1/Sampler/NEWT/PARTISN is utilized for the validation and the uncertainty quantification, because the random sampling technique is applicable for a problem which is not easy to apply the perturbation theory. Consequently, it is confirmed that the numerical results of α reasonably agree with the experimental ones, compared with the nuclear data-induced uncertainties. In addition, it is clarified that the nuclear data-induced correlations between α and keff and between α and neutron generation time Λ are strongly negative and positive, respectively. This fact implies that the numerical predictions of keff and Λ can be improved by the data assimilation technique using subcritical experimental results of α, which can be directly measured even for a deep subcritical system.}, pages = {450--459}, title = {Experimental analysis and uncertainty quantification using random sampling technique for ADS experiments at KUCA}, volume = {55}, year = {2018} }
