N2 - Improvements to nuclear analysis methods, in terms of predictive accuracy, additional modeling capabilities, and expanded application scope, are a continuous process at Global Nuclear Fuel (GNF). Such method improvements are necessary for the evolution of fuel products, such as the GNF2 advanced 10x10 product design, the GNF MOX program, and next-generation reactor designs, such as the ESBWR. To this end, GNF has recently developed a state-of-the-art nuclear analysis code package for BWR analysis that includes the LANCER02 lattice physics code and the AETNA02 3-D nodal simulator. This paper describes the methods and benchmarking of AETNA02.
