Description

A benchmark experiment on the TRIGA Mark II reactor is described. Experiments performed on fresh fuel during startup tests were done under well-controlled conditions. A benchmark model is proposed on the basis of manufacturer data. Some simplifications, which do not affect keff significantly, are assumed in the benchmark model. Results of sensitivity studies of the effects on keff of geometrical and material uncertainties are given. The results of MCNP and KENO simulations of the benchmark model show very good agreement with the experimental results and are well within the benchmark model uncertainties. (author)
