Engagement opportunities in OECD NEA benchmark development

A Method of Characteristics Solution to the Oecd/nea 3d Neutron Transport Benchmark Problem

A method of characteristics for steady-state transport calculations that can be applied to problems with a full and explicit 3D Cartesian system model has been implemented into the new code, MOCK-3D. Procedures for performing 3D ray-tracing are derived from methods that are employed in most lattice physics codes and simplifications to the discretized problem model minimize the expense associate...

Simulation of the OECD NEA Kalinin-3 benchmark (phase 2) by the ATHLET-KIKO3D code system

As a logical continuation of the former benchmark activity of AER devoted to the VVER reactor physics [1-3], now there is a rather large interest of the Kalinin-3 benchmark recently completed and published by the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) [4]. The goals of these exercises were the evaluation of the prediction capability of ad...

Radioactive Waste Management Programmes in Oecd/nea Member Countries Netherlands National Nuclear Energy Context

The Dodewaard NPP was shut down in 1997 and is now in the decommissioning phase. All spent fuel has been removed from the plant and transferred to Sellafield, in the United Kingdom, for reprocessing. The last shipment of spent fuel from Dodewaard was made in April 2003. In May 2002 a license was granted to GKN, the operator of the NPP Dodewaard, to bring and keep the plant in a safe enclosure. ...
