Vhtr Numerical Benchmark Based on the Compact Nuclear Power Source Experiments
Twoand three-dimensional numerical benchmark cases based on the Compact Nuclear Power Source (CNPS) experiments conducted at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in the 1980s have been specified for the validation and verification of Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR) physics codes. Previous evaluation of the CNPS experiments has shown that the experimental tests could be useful for the ...
متن کاملReactor Power Distribution Calculation in Research Reactors Using MCNP
In reactor calculations, a detailed 3-D power density distribution is required for core optimization studies and safety analyses. The general Monte Carlo based neutral particle transport tool, MCNP [1], has the capability to obtain detailed power density distribution in a reactor through its criticality calculation mode (KCODE mode). However, there is no standard tally type in MCNP that is able...
متن کاملMonte Carlo characterization of photoneutrons in the radiation therapy with high energy photons: a Comparison between simplified and full Monte Carlo models
Background: The characteristics of secondary neutrons in a high energy radiation therapy room were studied using the MCNPX Monte Carlo (MC) code. Materials and Methods: Two MC models including a model with full description of head components and a simplified model used in previous studies were implemented for MC simulations. Results: Results showed 4-53% difference between full and wit...
متن کاملMulti-core performance studies of a Monte Carlo neutron transport code
Performance results are presented for a multi-threaded version of the OpenMC Monte Carlo neutronics code using OpenMP in the context of nuclear reactor criticality calculations. Our main interest is production computing, and thus we limit our approach to threading strategies that both require reasonable levels of development effort and preserve the code features necessary for robust application...
متن کاملUncertainty Analysis in Reactor Physics Modelling in the Framework of UAM-Benchmark using SERPENT and SCALE-6.2 for Transport Calculations and TSUNAMI and SAMPLER for Cross Section Perturbation
In recent years, there has been an increasing demand from nuclear safety research for best estimate predictions to be provided with their confidence bounds. Consequently, a deep knowledge on Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analysis of Models is needed. The present study, involved in the framework of international research of NEA-OECD, estimates confidence bounds of results of simulation and perform...
