This paper describes the results of computations performed on a set of critical experiments designed to simulate high-density storage of reactor fuel pins. The purpose of these computations is to validate the Monte Carlo criticality code KENO V.a with the four cross-section libraries provided with the SCALE modular code system. The principal conclusion drawn from this study is the satisfactory performance of the SCALE cross-section libraries in the analysis of systems containing consolidated light-water reactor fuel. As observed in previous studies, the ENDF/B-IV-based libraries undercalculate the effective neutron multiplication factor (k/sub eff/) by 1 to 2%k, depending on the degree of neutron moderation. 5 refs., 2 tabs. |
