GROTESQUE Without Tears

摘要

The purpose of this report is to demonstrate the capability of the KENO V.a Monte Carlo criticality program in modeling and calculating a critical experiment with relatively complex geometry. This experiment, consisting of an assembly of various pieces of uranium metal, has been given the name GROTESQUE. The steps taken to calculate this experiment using KENO V.a are described. A detailed description of the experiment and the input data used for the calculation are given. (ERA citation 09:046353)
