title = "On scale validation for PBR analysis",
abstract = "Studies were performed to assess the capabilities of the SCALE code system to provide accurate cross sections for analyses of pebble bed reactor configurations. The analyzed configurations are representative of fuel in the HTR-10 reactor in the first critical core and at full power operation conditions. Relevant parameters-multiplication constant, spectral indices, few-group cross sections-are calculated with SCALE for the considered configurations. The results are compared to results obtained with corresponding consistent MCNP models. The code-to-code comparison shows good agreement at both room and operating temperatures, indicating a good performance of SCALE for analysis of doubly heterogeneous fuel configurations.",
