Description
A series of benchmark tests has been undertaken in JAERI in order to examine the capability of JAERI's criticality safety evaluation system consisting of the Monte Carlo calculation code KENO-IV and the newly developed multi-group library MGCL. The present report describes the results of a benchmark test using criticality experiments at the Tank-type critical Assembly (TCA) of JAERI. In all, 125 cases of experiments have been calculated for H2O moderated square lattice of UO2 or UO2 + PuO2 mixed oxide fuel rods with varying lattice configurations. For all the 125 cases, the effective multiplication factor (k sub(eff)) can be predicted as 0.995 +- 0.004 by this calculational method. Particularly for the 26 cases dealing with neutron absorbers, the k sub(eff) can be predicted as 0.998 +- 0.003, which is very accurate calculation compared with other cases. (author)
