Description
Discontinuity factors and node-wise group constants were generated by the SERPENT Monte Carlo code and applied in the KIKO3 DMG nodal code. The methodology was tested by calculating a typical VVER-440 calculation benchmark. A reference solution of the benchmark was calculated by using also the SERPENT code and the accuracy of the different approaches was checked against this latter solution.
