The annual Benchmark Workshop of the Working Party on Scientific Issues and Uncertainty Analysis of Reactor Systems was hosted by CEA Cadarache in Aix-en-Provence. During the week of 30 May to 3 June...
The Boiling Water Reactor Turbine Trip (BWRTT) Benchmark was established to challenge the coupled system thermal-hydraulic/neutron kinetics codes against a Peach-Bottom-2 (a GE-designed BWR/4) turbin...
This benchmark was a continuation of the V1000CT activities and defined a coupled code problem for further validation of thermal-hydraulics system codes for application with Russian-designed VVER-100...
To ensure reliable modelling of neutron physics within a state-of-the-art transient code, the neutron kinetics part of such a code should be based on the full-scale calculation of the space-time neu...
Building on the NEA BFBT and PSBT benchmarks, McMaster University, in collaboration with North Carolina State University, launched a CANDU thermal-hydraulic benchmark under the WPRS Expert Group on U...
Multi-physics Pellet Cladding Mechanical Interaction Validation (MPCMIV) Benchmark
The Liquid Metal Fast Reactor (LFMR) is one of the next generation reactor designs. This benchmark consists of steady-state numerical predictions of Texas A&M University (TAMU) separate effect tests ...
TVA Watts Bar Unit 1 Multi-Physics Benchmark
The NEA Data Bank organised a PENELOPE training course at the University of Barcelona in Spain on 11-15 July 2022
The overall objective of the VVER-1000 Coolant Transient (V1000CT) Benchmark was to assess computer codes used in the safety analysis of water-water energetic reactor (VVER) power plants, specificall...
