A comparison of codes for spectrum and reactivity calculations. Project DRAGON

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4108142
A comparison of sets of codes for calculation of spectrum, broad group cross sections, and reactivity is described. The comparison has shown the significance of the leakage term (the buckling) introduced into the spectrum code and the disadvantages of the group partition used when this comparison was performed. A number of differences of the basic input cross sections have been found and their effects investigated.
