Serpent solution of X2 benchmark: fresh core at HZP conditions


Serpent solution of X2 benchmark: fresh core at HZP conditions

Bilodid, Y.; Fridman, E.

The X2 benchmark, published in AER conference proceedings, describes first 4 fuel cycles of the Khmelnitsky NPP 2nd unit (KhNPP-2) with VVER-1000 reactor. The benchmark specifications contain description of the reactor core and operational history supplemented by measured operational data. In this work, the HZP experiments conducted in the KhNPP-2 fresh core are modelled with the Serpent-2 Monte Carlo code. The numerical results are validated against the available measured core data.

Keywords: Serpent; VVER-1000; X2 benchmark
