1 PublicationDefinition of the neutronics benchmark of the NuScale-like core
Fridman, E.; Bilodid, Y.; Valtavirta, V.
Abstract
This paper defines a 3D full core neutronics benchmark which is based on the NuScale small modular reactor (SMR) concept. The paper provides a detailed description of the NuScale-like core, a list of expected outputs, and a reference solution to the benchmark exercises obtained with the Monte Carlo code Serpent.
The benchmark was developed in the framework of the Euratom McSAFER project and can be used for verification of computational chains dedicated to 3D full-core neutronics simulations of water cooled SMRs.
The paper is supplemented with a digital data set to ease the modeling process.
