The need to refine models for best-estimate calculations based on good-quality experimental data has arisen for various nuclear applications. One of the most extensive and valuable databases availabl...

In 2013, the Expert Group on Reactor Physics and Advanced Nuclear Systems (EGRPANS) published a report that investigated fuel depletion effects in a pressurised water reactor (PWR). This was entitled...

The high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) is a Generation IV reactor concept that uses a graphitemoderated gas-cooled nuclear reactor with a once-through uranium fuel cycle. This design permits ...

The purpose of this prismatic High Temperature Reactor (HTR) benchmark is to provide a solution set that can be used in future code benchmarking and to better understand the effects induced by the pr...

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...

In the past decade, a large amount of effort has been made towards the direct simulation of the boiling transition (BT) for Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) fuel bundles. This international benchmark, bas...
