Benchmark Calculation for BEAVRS Cycles 1 and 2 Using the SCALE 6.3/Polaris–PARCS v3.4.2 Code Package
- Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN (United States)
This study performed the benchmark calculation for BEAVRS to validate the SCALE 6.3/Polaris–PARCS v3.4.2 code package with the ENDF/B-VII.1 56-group library, comparing the simulated results with the measured data. The benchmark results will be used in evaluating uncertainties of the SCALE/Polaris–PARCS code package for pressurized water reactor physics analysis for key nuclear parameters such as reactivity, control bank worth, temperature coefficients, and pin and assembly power peaking factors. This report details plant and fuel design specifications and input data for SCALE/Polaris as well as GenPMAXS and PARCS. Additionally, detailed information is provided for all the input and output files produced for the benchmark calculations. The benchmark results are summarized herein so that they can be used in evaluating uncertainties for key nuclear parameters with other benchmark results.
