Flattop Benchmark CED-2 (IER-423)
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
The final design for the Flattop HEU Core Benchmark is presented in this report. Physical measurements will be performed on Flattop components using modern instruments and techniques to define uncertainties necessary to meet contemporary ICSBEP standards. A preliminary re-evaluation of ICSBEP HMF-0028 (Flattop HEU Core) led to the development of IER-423 CED-1, wherein total relative uncertainties in $$k_{eff}$$ were provided based on a new detailed model. The estimated uncertainty on the total uncertainty is +100%/-0%, given a lack of documented uncertainties on mass, dimensions, and densities of predominantly the natural uranium (NU) and highly enriched uranium (HEU) components.
