1. 1. Validation of the Westinghouse BWR nodal core simulator POLCA8 against Serpent2 reference results

   University essay from KTH/Fysik

   Author : Mathilde Gaillard; [2021]
   Keywords : Nodal Core Analysis; Monte Carlo Methods; CBH Effects; Nodal kärnanalys; Monte Carlo-metoder; CBH-effekter;

   Abstract : When a new nodal core simulator is developed, like all other simulators, it must go through an extensive verification and validation effort where, in the first stage, it will be tested against appropriate reference tools in various theoretical benchmark problems. The series of tests consist of comparing several geometries, from the simplest to the most complex, by simulating them with the nodal core simulator developed and with some higher order solver representing the reference solution, in this case on the Serpent2 Monte Carlo transport code.

3. 2. Qualification of WestinghouseBWR lattice physics methods againstcritical experiments

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

   Author : Kim Landelius; [2016]
   Keywords : HELIOS; PHOENIX5; lattice code;

   Abstract : This thesis is part of a larger qualification effortperformed at Westinghouse Electric Sweden AB of the PHOENIX5 latticephysics code. The aim of the thesis is to validate PHOENIX5 withregards to cold criticality tests performed at the Toshiba NCAfacility in 2010-2011. READ MORE

4. 3. Validation and Benchmarking of Westinghouse BWR lattice physics methods

   University essay from KTH/Reaktorteknologi

   Author : Karol Luszczek; [2015]
   Keywords : Serpent; HELIOS; lattice physics; benchmarking; Monte Carlo; neutronics; reactor physics;

   Abstract : A lattice physics code is a vital tool, forming a base of reactor coreanalysis. It enables the neutronic properties of the fuel assembly to becalculated and generates a proper set of data to be used by a 3-D full coresimulator. READ MORE
