The reactivity worth of an auxiliary control rod in the Brookhaven high-flux beam reactor (HFBR) has been determined using both the TWOTRAN-II discrete ordinates and KENO-IV Monte Carlo codes, In the TWOTRAN-II calculation, a synthesis method was used combining two-dimensional TWOTRAN-II solutions to determine the single control rod worth. In the KENO-IV Monte Carlo calculation, a three-dimensional explicit model was developed to evaluate the reactivity worth of a single auxiliary rod.
