Verification of KENO V.a and KENO-VI Using Analytical Benchmarks
T. Sumner, Sedat Goluoglu · 2008
To verify that the multigroup Monte Carlo codes KENO V.a and KENO-VI of the SCALE (Standardized Computer Analyses for Licensing Evaluation) code system properly calculate the effective or infinite multiplication factor of a system, numerous analytically solved criticality benchmark problems with simple geometries and explicitly defined macroscopic cross sections have been modeled. It has been demonstrated that the KENO V.a and KENO-VI codes calculate expected multiplication factors very accurately.
