Two-dimensional whole-core transport calculations of the OECD benchmark problem C5G7 MOX by the CRX code

Abstract

The OECD 2-D benchmark problem C5G7 MOX was calculated by the CRX code which is based on the method of characteristics. A modular ray tracing scheme and parallel computation in angular domain are implemented to reduce computer memory and computation time. In this paper, we present results of calculations, including sensitivity studies performed with varying values for some calculation parameters. (C) 2004 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
