Abstract

The verification and validation of the LANCER02 lattice physics code is presented, consisting of a suite of test cases comparing LANCER02 to MCNP using a consistent ENDF/B-VII Rev. 0 cross section library. MCNP results using this data library have been validated against measured data from critical experiments. In addition, several comparisons of LANCER02 are made to MONTEBURNS to qualify the depletion capability in LANCER02. These results show excellent agreement between LANCER02 and MCNP and provide a firm foundation for use in downstream applications.
