This study was undertaken to demonstrate capabilities of the pin-by-pin model used by the BARS code and to understand various effects of intra-assembly pin-by-pin representation of fuel power, bumup and temperature in calculational analysis of light water reactor rod ejection accidents (LWR REAs). Effects of pin-by-pin fuel power and bumup representation were investigated on the basis of calcul...

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...
