Simulation of the OECD NEA Kalinin-3 benchmark (phase 2) by the ATHLET-KIKO3D code system

چکیده
As a logical continuation of the former benchmark activity of AER devoted to the VVER reactor physics [1-3], now there is a rather large interest of the Kalinin-3 benchmark recently completed and published by the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) [4]. The goals of these exercises were the evaluation of the prediction capability of advanced code systems by means of a code to code comparison. Meanwhile the last task, analyzing a real plant transient, is good to verify the prediction capability of best estimate coupled codes. These code systems are characterized by direct coupling between the one dimensional thermal hydraulics plant models with three dimensional neuton kinetics models. Among others ATHLET-QUABOX/CUBBOX [5] ATHLET-DYN3D [6] TRAC-PARCS [7] CATHARECRONOS-FLICA4 [8] and the Hungarian ATHLET-KIKO3D [9] belong to this group.

A Method of Characteristics Solution to the Oecd/nea 3d Neutron Transport Benchmark Problem
A method of characteristics for steady-state transport calculations that can be applied to problems with a full and explicit 3D Cartesian system model has been implemented into the new code, MOCK-3D. Procedures for performing 3D ray-tracing are derived from methods that are employed in most lattice physics codes and simplifications to the discretized problem model minimize the expense associate...

— Over the years, large scientific code packages have been successfully developed using FORTRAN. Today, maintaining and extending these codes is a challenging task and often forbids several possibilities. Rewriting legacy code packages is almost prohibitive due to lacking resources and inertia against changing functional codes. One way of tackling these challenges is to integrate scripting lang...
