Monte-Carlo Serpent code validation based on the experimental data from research subcritical facility

Description of computation model for Kyoto University Critical Assembly (KUCA) developed with the help of Monte-Carlo Serpent code was presented in this paper. The simulation of criticality and subcriticality condi-tions for KUCA was carried out. The effective multiplication factors for different cr...

description Description of computation model for Kyoto University Critical Assembly (KUCA) developed with the help of Monte-Carlo Serpent code was presented in this paper. The simulation of criticality and subcriticality condi-tions for KUCA was carried out. The effective multiplication factors for different critical experiments were calcu-lated for KUCA. The presented obtained results were considered and compared with the experimental data and with computation results from other Monte Carlo codes.
