Abstract:The burn-up code MOTIVE is a 3D code for fuel assembly inventory determination developed at GRS in recent years. It modularly couples an external Monte Carlo neutron transport code to the in-house inventory code VENTINA. In the present publication, we report on the validation of MOTIVE with respect to full-assembly decay heat measurements of light water reactor fuel. For this purpose, measurements on pressurized water reactor and boiling water reactor fuel assemblies from different facilities have been analyze… Show more
