Abstract

VERA core physics benchmark problem #6, 3D Hot Full Power (HFP) Assembly, from the Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors (CASL) was simulated using the MC21 continuous energy Monte Carlo code coupled with the COBRA-IE subchannel thermal-hydraulics code using the R5EXEC coupling framework. Upon convergence, MC21 computed an eigenvalue of 1.16431 ± 2.9E-05, and eigenvalue, local pin power, and thermal-hydraulic parameters were compared to results from CASL's MPACT/COBRA-TF (CTF) code.
