Overview

Computational benchmark simulation demonstrates high-fidelity full-core neutronic modeling of the China Experimental Fast Reactor, providing a reference dataset for fast reactor code validation.

Key Points

To establish a high-fidelity neutronic benchmark for sodium-cooled fast reactors based on the extended start-up tests of the China Experimental Fast Reactor.
Performed three-dimensional full-core simulations primarily using the high-fidelity Monte Carlo transport code MCS.
Evaluated seven work packages combining empirical measurement data (burnup, deep penetration, neutron dynamics) and participant simulation results (neutron spectrum, group constants, kinetic parameters, spatial reactivity distribution).
Established comprehensive benchmark solutions across all seven work packages covering static and dynamic nuclear reactor behaviors.
Compiled fully reproducible modeling inputs, simulation procedures, and detailed datasets to serve as reference standards for advanced nuclear code validation.
