Tests of HAMMER (original) and HAMMER-TECHNION systems with critical experiments

  • 1. Instituto de Pesquisas Energeticas e Nucleares, Sao Paulo (Brazil)

Description

Performances of the reactor cell codes HAMMER (original) and HAMMER-TECHNION were tested against experimental results of critical benchmarks. The option made was the utilization of consistent methodologies so that only the NIT (Nordheim Integral Technique) was utilized in the HAMMER-TECHNION. All differences encountered in the analysis made with these systems can be attributed to their basic nuclear data library. Five critical benchmarks was utilized on this study. Surprisingly, the performance of the original HAMMER system was betterthan that of the HAMMER-TECHNION. (Author)

Abstract (Portuguese)

Testou-se o desempenho dos sistemas HAMMER (original) e HAMMER-TECHNION com experimentos criticos padroes. Optou-se pela utilizacao de metodologias consistentes em ambos os sistemas tal que somente a opcao NIT (Nordheim Integral Technique) foi utilizada no HAMMER-TECHNION. Consequentemente, todas as diferencas encontradas na comparacao feita com esses sistemas podem ser atribuidas a biblioteca de dados nucleares basicos. Foram utilizados cinco experimentos na comparacao feita. Notou-se que surpreendentemente o desempenho da versao original do sistema HAMMER foi melhor do que a do HAMMER-TECHNION. (Autor)
