HPLWR equilibrium core design with the KARATE code system

Design and optimization of HPLWR high pressure Turbine gamma ray shield

“…Tables 1 and 2 show the core design parameters and fuel enrichment used in this simulation. Coolant and moderator densities from Maráczy et al (2011) were used in the calculation. A cross-section of the MCNP model used for this calculation is shown in Fig.…”

Iterative Determination of Distributions by the Monte Carlo Method in Problems with an External Source

“…As to the statistics of the converged error vector, its expectation value is zero, and its covariance matrix is (12) E{ φ φT…”

“…In Figure 1, we see the progress of the k ef f eigenvalue in a MCNP run, see Ref. [7][p. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. The error of the k ef f diminishes slowly and statistical fluctuations dominate the figure that clearly shows the lack of convergence caused by the statistical fluctuations.…”

“…The MC method is used also in GEN IV. projects, in analysis [11] of nonlinear problems and as reference [12] as well. The mentioned applications have been selected subjectively.…”
