Analysis of Control Rod Worth and B-10(n,α) Measurements in ZPPR-15

摘要

This paper discusses the analysis of control rod worth and B-10(n,a) measurements with deterministic and Monte Carlo methods in the ZPPR-15 loadings. Deterministic results are obtained using 3D reactor models generated with the BuildZPRModel tools [1] developed at Argonne National Laboratory. The Monte Carlo simulations are performed with MCNP6.1 [2] and are based on 3D models that include all geometric details ("as built" models). For consistency, both deterministic and Monte Carlo results presented in this paper are based on ENDF/B-VII.0 data.
