RUDI STAMM'LER CONTRIBUTIONS AND DRAGON

摘要

The lattice code DRAGON has been in constant development over the last 25 years. During this period, the DRAGON development team has often been directly influenced by the excellent work of Rudi Stamm'ler. First, his book on reactor physics has inspired a large number of programming and calculation techniques that were implemented in DRAGON. Then, the work of Rudi and his collaborators on the lattice code HELIOS, has also prompted a friendly competition that lead us to continuously improve our code in such a way that it could match the performance achieved by HELIOS. This paper provides a description of some characteristics or technologies implemented in DRAGON that were influenced by the work of Rudi Stamm'ler. It also describes a CANDU simulation exercice where the capabilities of the HELIOS and DRAGON codes were combined.
