GE-ARSD results for Large Core Code Evaluation Working Group (LCCEWG) benchmark problem 4
Description
The Large Core Code Evaluation Working Group (LCCEWG) Benchmark 4 has been specified to provide a stringent test of the current methods used in the nuclear design and analysis process. The primary emphasis of benchmark is on detailed burnup calculations over the first two irradiation cycles for a three-dimensional model of the LMFBR design analyzed in LCCEWG Benchmark 3. Two-dimensional approximate models in RZ and XY geometries are also specified. Evaluation of approximate methods used by each of the LCCEWG participants will be made relative to three-dimensional analyses performed at Argonne (ANL), Oak Ridge (ORNL), and Hanford (HEDL) national laboratories. Analysis of LCCEWG Benchmark 4 has been completed by GE-ARSD for the specified RZ and RZ/XY approximations to the three-dimensional configuration
