In order to perform the resonance calculation efficiently and accurately, several pin-resolved ultra-fine-group methods combining the ultra-fine-group method and Dancoff factor have been developed recently. The ultra-fine-group method is used to consider the self-shielding effect accurately in the 1-D fuel model, and the Dancoff factor is used to consider the shadowing effect in a lattice system. The pin-resolved ultra-fine-group with correction method, combining the ultra-fine-group method and Dancoff factor, is implemented in a transport code using the method of characteristic. In order to expand the application range, the pin-resolved method is extended for the plate-type fuel. Numerical results show good accuracy for the plate-type fuel reactor analysis.
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.
