N2 - The Virtual Environment for Reactor Applications (VERA) is being developed by the Consortium for the Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors (CASL). VERA 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 and 2 are simulated with VERA and the results are compared to the measured zero power physics tests, critical boron concentration, and flux maps.
