Abstract
CALCULATION OF VVER BENCHMARKS BY CODES INCLUDED INTO SOFTWARE PACKAGE KASKADAleshin S.S, Oleynik D.S., Shcherenko A.I.National Research Centre “Kurchatov Institute”, Russia, MoscowABSTRACTSome years ago the authors from the Check Republic proposed the full core 2-D benchmark of VVER-440. The similar 2-D benchmark related to the full-core of VVER-1000 was proposed at the AER Working Group A&B meeting last year. Such type of benchmarks requires the adequate specification of the volume surrounding the core which geometry is complex enough.This work contains the detailed description of the calculation models of the PERMAK-A code.The proposed benchmarks have been solved using the BIPR-7A and PERMAK-A codes included into the software package KASKAD. The data calculated by the engineering codes have been compared with the calculation results of the Monte-Carlo code MCU. 26th Symposium of AER on VVER Reactor Physics and Reactor Safety 13 10 – 14 October 2016, Helsinki, Finland
