Description
A depletion calculation benchmark devoted to MOX fuel cycles in an ongoing objective of OECD/NEA WPRS (Working Party on Scientific Issues of Reactor Systems) following the study of depletion calculation concerning UOX fuel. Four corresponding fuel structures as super-cells were calculated: the MOX PWR, WWER-1000, WWER-440 assembly surrounded by UOX assembly and MOX assembly in an infinite lattice. These scenarios enable to show the importance of the UOX environment in the mixed UOX - MOX core. Studies have shown that a standard calculation based on an infinite medium pattern for MOX assembly can lead to a significant error in Pu-239 concentration at a high burn up. The model calculations were performed by a spectral code HELIOS 1.10. (Author)
