This paper reports the results of a comparison among JEFF and ENDF/B data sets when used by SERPENT and MONTEBURNS codes on a gas-cooled fast reactor (GFR)-like configuration. Particularly, it shows a comparison between the two Monte Carlo-based codes, each one adopting three different cross-section data sets, namely, JEFF-3.1, JEFF-3.1.2, and ENDF/B-VII.1. Calculations have been carried out on the Allegro reactor, i.e., an experimental GFR-like facility that could be built in the European Union as a GFR demonstration. Results include nuclear parameters, such as the effective multiplication factor and fluxes, as well as the atomic densities for some important nuclides versus burn-up.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
