The SIMULATE-3 pin power reconstruction methodology was previously applied to colorsets of Westinghouse fuel assemblies. This analysis validated the performance of the CASMO-3/TABLES-3/SIMULATE-3 pin power reconstruction method with respect to transport theory and fine-mesh PDQ. In this work, the authors compare the power distributions of a fine-mesh PDQ quarter core model with a SIMULATE-3 nodal pin power reconstruction of Seabrook Station, cycle 1. Modulating the global nodal powers and the heterogeneous assembly CASMO pin powers provides an accurate prediction of assembly pin power distribution. In fact, the methodology incorporates transport theory accuracy from CASMO into the pin power reconstruction.
