Benchmarking of Depletion Calculations for LWR Fuel Assemblies using ThO_2-UO_2 pins and TRU FCM pins

摘要

In this paper, new 190 group cross section libraries for modeling using DeCART were generated and tested in comparison with a Monte Carlo code McCARD. From the depletion calculations, it is concluded that DeCART multi-group depletion calculations using new 47 group and 190 group libraries for LWR fuel assemblies having FCM and UO_2-ThO_2 pins are reasonably accurate in comparison with McCARD Monte Carlo code.
