“…These spe cial fea tures require the per for mance of com pre hen sive neutronics sim u la tions. Some neutronics anal y ses of LFR, such as BREST-OD-300 [3] and the Eu ro pean Lead-Cooled Train ing Re ac tor (ELECTRA) [4], have been re ported pre vi ously. In this work, the sim u la tion of the lead-bismuth-cooled re ac tor RBEC-M is per formed.…”

Lead-cooled fast re ac tors have mul ti lay ered de signs and large in ter nal tem per a ture dif ferences, which cause chal lenges in sim u lat ing re ac tor phys ics. SuperMC, a large-scale in tegrated soft ware sys tem for neutronics de sign, is in her ently able to ad dress com plex ge om etries and multi-tem per a ture prob lems. The pur pose of this study is to ver ify the ap pli ca bil ity of SuperMC to the lead-bis muth-cooled fast re ac tor RBEC-M. The multi-tem per a ture cross-sec tion gen er a tion func tion of SuperMC was em ployed and showed good per for mance. Based on the ENDF/B-VII.1 li brary, the ef fec tive mul ti pli ca tion fac tor k eff ob tained by SuperMC showed good agree ment with those from pre vi ous works. The re la tion ship of k eff and 15 N en rich ment ap plied to the fuel ma te rial was also stud ied, with the re sults show ing that in creased 15 N could sig nif i cantly im prove k eff. The ax ial power pro file and ki net ics param e ters for the bench mark were then cal cu lated and an a lyzed. This work thus ver i fied the ap pli ca bil ity of SuperMC for com pre hen sive neutronics sim u la tions for lead-bis muth-cooled fast re ac tors.
