The paper presents a description of benchmark cases, achieved results, analysis of possible reasons of differences of calculation results obtained by various neutronic codes. The comparative analysis is presented showing the benchmark–results obtained with reference and design codes by Russian specialists (WIMS-D, JAR-HTGR, UNK, MCU, MCNP5-MONTEBURNS1.0-ORIGEN2.0), by French specialists (APOLLO2, TRIPOLI4 codes), and by Korean specialists (HELIOS, MASTER, MCNP5 codes). The analysis of possible reasons for deviations was carried out, which was aimed at the decrease of uncertainties in calculated characteristics. This additional investigation was conducted with the use of 2D models of a fuel assembly cell and a reactor plane section.
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.
