Description

In order to develop the temperature-dependent point-wise cross section library for the advanced supercritical water cooled fast reactor, the JEZEBEL fast neutron benchmark was used to analyze the important parameters of the NJOY code and compare the different effects of the input parameters. Then the most reasonable parameters were selected to develop the ASCFR1.0/MC which was based on the ENDF/B-VII.1. Finally, the Doppler coefficient benchmark was applied to test and verify the ASCFR.10/MC. In conclusion, the precision of the ASCFR1.0/MC were perfect. The resulted library can be used in the analysis and verification of the temperature effect in the Advanced Supercritical Fast Reactor (ASCFR), Finally, the moderator effect of ASCFR was calculated with MCNP using the ASCFR1.0/MC library, and the moderator effect of the ASCFR is positive.
