TVA Watts Bar Unit 1 Multi-Physics Benchmark
The Liquid Metal Fast Reactor (LFMR) is one of the next generation reactor designs. This benchmark consists of steady-state numerical predictions of Texas A&M University (TAMU) separate effect tests ...
Multi-physics Pellet Cladding Mechanical Interaction Validation (MPCMIV) Benchmark
Building on the NEA BFBT and PSBT benchmarks, McMaster University, in collaboration with North Carolina State University, launched a CANDU thermal-hydraulic benchmark under the WPRS Expert Group on U...
To ensure reliable modelling of neutron physics within a state-of-the-art transient code, the neutron kinetics part of such a code should be based on the full-scale calculation of the space-time neu...
This benchmark was a continuation of the V1000CT activities and defined a coupled code problem for further validation of thermal-hydraulics system codes for application with Russian-designed VVER-100...
The Boiling Water Reactor Turbine Trip (BWRTT) Benchmark was established to challenge the coupled system thermal-hydraulic/neutron kinetics codes against a Peach-Bottom-2 (a GE-designed BWR/4) turbin...
The annual Benchmark Workshop of the Working Party on Scientific Issues and Uncertainty Analysis of Reactor Systems was hosted by CEA Cadarache in Aix-en-Provence. During the week of 30 May to 3 June...
High-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs), also known as very-high-temperature reactors (VHTR) are Generation IV reactors that can operate at very high temperatures and use a graphite-moderated ga...
Under the guidance of the Nuclear Science Committee (NSC) , the Working Party on Nuclear Criticality Safety (WPNCS) focuses on technical and scientific issues related to criticality safety. Specific...
