Overview

Numerical modeling of VVER-1000 benchmark with MOX fuel shows good agreement with neutron transport results, indicating effective cross-section library selection.

Key Points

  • The analysis reveals good agreement in effective multiplication factor using OpenMC, validating its computational effectiveness.
  • Calculated fission reaction rates demonstrate consistency with results from MCU and MCNP codes, emphasizing robustness in modeling.
  • The use of varied nuclear data libraries allows an assessment of sensitivities in key neutronic parameters critical for reactor efficiency.
  • Cross-verification with Serpent code ensures reliability in the OpenMC model, highlighting its applicability for future reactor configurations.
