Improvements in cost performance of computer hardware are extending applicability of cell-heterogeneous transport calculations that are currently applied in lattice cell or assembly geometry. In this paper, a cell-heterogeneous whole-core transport calculation by the method of characteristics (MOC) is applied to calculations for analyses of pressurized water reactor (PWR) initial cores. Calculation accuracy by the MOC has been verified within the cell-heterogeneous whole core system in comparison with the measurement results obtained in the startup physics test.
