Benchmark description for 17-l spheres containing aqueous uranium solutions
- 1. Westinghouse Savannah River Company, Aiken, SC (United States)
Description
During the 1950s several criticality experiments were performed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in 17-l water-reflected spheres. Two configurations taken from these experiments are analyzed in an effort to provide a defensible benchmark description for use by nuclear criticality specialists in validating computational tools. The method used here is the Monte Carlo code MCNP with ENDF/B-V continuous energy cross-section data. This tool has previously been validated for use in light water reactor criticality calculations
