title = "Analysis of the beavrs benchmark using VERA-CS",
abstract = "VERA-CS is the core simulator component of the Virtual Environment for Reactor Applications (VERA) which being developed by the Consortium for the Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors (CASL). VERA-CS is used to perform the Benchmark for Evaluation and Validation of Reactor Simulations (BEAVRS), which provides two cycles' worth of operating power history, along with a full, detailed description of the geometry, and measured data. Cycle 1 is simulated with VERA-CS and the results are compared to the measured zero power physics tests, critical boron concentration, and flux maps. Comparisons to the measured data show rod worth calculations within 5%, critical boron concentration within 50 ppm, and flux map 3D RMS values less than 4%.",
