In this benchmark exercise the goal is to test the current state-of-the-art two-dimensional methods of calculating neutron flux to reactor components against the measured data of the VENUS-1 critical...

Average fuel burn-up in light water reactors (LWRs) has steadily increased with time as technological advances have been made. The practical limit is currently in the region of 50 GWd/t. The main dri...

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...
