Study for benchmark calculation using TORT code in BWR reactor vessel

Description

Sensitivity analyses have been made to improve accuracy of TORT calculations. Reasonable calculation conditions such as number of energy groups, flux convergence criterion, number of angular directions, order to Legendre expansions and the effective densities were investigated. No significant differences are identified from the calculation conditions and neutron energy group structure. It is possible to confirm that the water density of the outer bypass region and the annulus area from the shroud to the RPV is an important parameter for accurate estimation of fast neutrons.
