For nuclear utility companies that opt to reprocess spent fuel, recycle it or do both, one of the main pertinent issues is plutonium recycling.

An approach similar to the OECD/NRC Boiling Water Reactor Full-size Fine-mesh Bundle Tests (BFBT) Benchmark was adopted by dividing the benchmark activity into phases.

Collected sources of primary documentation for reactor physics benchmarks.

The International Reactor Physics Experiment Evaluation (IRPhE) Technical Review Group provides the nuclear community with qualified benchmark data sets by collecting reactor physics experimental dat...

The goal of the Benchmark for Uncertainty Analysis in Best-Estimate Modelling for Design, Operation and Safety Analysis of Light Water Reactors (LWR-UAM) was to determine the uncertainty in light wat...

This benchmark focuses on FHR reactors with plates and triso fuel. Several phases are planned, starting with neutronics on a simple fuel element simulation without burn-up, and gradually extending to...

The International Handbook of Evaluated Reactor Physics Benchmark Experiments (IRPhE) contains reactor physics benchmark specifications that have been derived from experiments that were performed at ...

Refined models for best-estimate calculations based on good-quality experimental data can improve the understanding of phenomena and the quantification of margins for operating nuclear power reactors...

This report provides the specification for the uncertainty exercises of the international OECD/NEA, NRC and NUPEC BFBT benchmark problem including the elemental task. The specification was prepared j...

A number of tests with detail well documented neutronics and thermal-hydraulics measurements data have been performed at the Rostov Unit 2 (Rostov-2) nuclear power plant (NPP). The reactor type is a ...
