Abstract

The unstable accuracy of power forecasts at periphery fuel pins and utilization of exploitation
data from VVER-440 reactors are main motivations for benchmark definition. Second
generation fuel assemblies with mean enrichment 4,25 % at 5-year cycle at Unit 4 of NPP
Bohunice are analyzed with emphasis on the last cycle. Starting point, calculated period and
results are characterized. SCORPIO data will be used for comparison.
