Use of the Apollo-II multigroup transport code for criticality calculations

Abstract

APOLLO-II is a new-generation multigroup transport code for assembly calculation. The code has been designed to be used as a tool for reactor design as well as for the analysis and interpretation of small nuclear facilities. As the first step in a criticality calculation, the collision probability module of the APOLLO-II code can be used to generate cell or assembly homogenized reaction-rate preserving cross sections that account for self-shielding effects as well as for the fine-energy within cell flux spectral variations. These cross section data can then be used either directly within the APOLLO-II code in a direct discrete ordinate multigroup transport calculation of a small nuclear facility or, more generally, be formatted by a post-processing module to be used by the multigroup diffusion code CRONOS-II or by the multigroup Monte Carlo code TRIMARAN.
