Two micro reactor cores were simulated using the MOC solver of PROTEUS: MegaPower for a heat pipe micro reactor and Holos-Quad for a high-temperature gas-cooled micro reactor. Verification of PROTEUS standalone was performed by simulating 2D and 3D core benchmark problems developed based on MegaPower and Holos-Quad. Simulation results indicated that PROTEUS successfully modelled 2D and 3D cores of the MegaPower and Holos-Quad micro reactors and PROTEUS eigenvalues agreed well with the SERPENT Monte Carlo solutions.
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.
