MERCATOR: the growth of a nodal code
- 1. TRACTEBEL S.A., Brussels (Belgium)
Description
The MERCATOR code is described as an example of powerful nodal code for solving the two-group diffusion equation on large cores. The model is discussed from its early version in comparison with other nodal models used in core management. Applications to reactor statics, kinetics and perturbation analysis are examined. Current developments and perspectives are presented: 3-D extension and heterogeneity corrections
