Development of Ultra-Fine Multigroup Cross Section Library of the AMPX/SCALE Code Packages

Technical Report Jeon, Byoung Kyu ; Sik Yang, Won ; Kim, Kang Seog ; ...

The Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors Virtual Environment for Reactor Applications (VERA) neutronic simulator MPACT is being developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Michigan for various reactor applications. The MPACT and simplified MPACT 51- and 252-group cross section libraries have been developed for the MPACT neutron transport calculations by using the AMPX and Standardized Computer Analyses for Licensing Evaluations (SCALE) code packages developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. It has been noted that the conventional AMPX/SCALE procedure has limited applications for fast-spectrum systems such as boiling water reactor (BWR) fuels with very highmore »« less

Validation of the SCALE broad structure 44-group ENDF/B-V cross-section library for use in criticality safety analyses

Technical Report DeHart, M D ; Bowman, S M

This report documents the validation of the recently developed 44-group ENDF/B-V based cross-section library (44GROUPNDF5). This cross-section set has been developed for use in the SCALE code system in the analysis of fresh and spent fuel and radioactive waste systems. Collapsed from a 238-group fine-structure cross-section library (238GROUPNDF5), this broad-group library contains approximately 300 nuclides from the ENDF/B-V data files. Additionally, ENDF/B-VI oxygen data have been substituted for ENDF/B-V oxygen, because of discrepancies in ENDF/B-V data. The 44 GROUPNDF5 library was tested against its parent library using a set of 33 benchmark problems in order to demonstrate that the collapsedmore »« less

Validation of SCALE 4.0 -- CSAS25 module and the 27-group ENDF/B-IV cross-section library for low-enriched uranium systems

Technical Report Jordan, W. C.

A version of KENO V.a and the 27-group library in SCALE-4.0 were validated for use in evaluating the nuclear criticality safety of low-enriched uranium systems. A total of 59 critical systems were analyzed. A statistical analysis of the results was performed, and subcritical acceptanced criteria are established.

Cross-section library and processing techniques within the SCALE system

Conference Westfall, R M

A summary of each of the SCALE system features involved in problem-dependent cross section processing is presented. These features include criticality libraries, shielding libraries, the Standard Composition Library, the SCALE functional modules: BONAMI-S, NITAWL-S, XSDRNPM-S, ICE-S, and the Material Information Processor. The automated procedure for cross-section processing is described with examples. 15 refs.
