Many nuclear fuel cycle system modeling codes can analyze transition from a once-through to an advanced nuclear fuel cycle. Verification studies compare various fuel cycle analysis tools to test agreement and identify sources of di↵erence. This paper benchmarks Cyclus, the agent-based, open-source fuel cycle simulation code, against a verification study [1] for DYMOND [2], VISION [3], ORION [4], and MARKAL [5]. This study reveals that Cyclus can match the results from other codes closely, with minor di↵erences caused by reactor module behavior.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
