Benchmark Calculation for Turkey Point Unit 3 Cycles 1-3 Using the SCALE 6.3/Polaris–PARCS v3.4.2 Code Package
- Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN (United States)
Benchmark calculations were performed for Turkey Point Unit 3 cycles 1–3 to validate the SCALE 6.3/Polaris–PARCS v3.4.2 code with the ENDF/B–VII.1 56–group library by comparing the simulated results with the measured data. The benchmark results will be used in evaluating the SCALE/Polaris–PARCS code package’s uncertainties for pressurized water reactor physics analysis. That future analysis will include key nuclear parameters such as reactivity, control bank worth, temperature coefficients, and pin and assembly power peaking factors. The present document details plant and fuel design specifications and input data for SCALE/Polaris, GenPMAXS, and PARCS. Additional details are provided with respect to the input and output files produced for the benchmark calculations. The benchmark results are summarized such that they can be used in evaluating uncertainties with other benchmark results for key nuclear parameters.
