29th Symposium of AER on VVER Reactor Physics and Reactor Safety (2019, Energoland, Mochovce NPP, Slovakia)
advances in spectral and core calculation methods
Abstract
The KASKAD software package has been developed in the NRC KI for carrying out neutronic calculations of VVER-type reactors and is widely used in design organizations and at operating NPP units with VVERs in Russia and abroad. Its advanced version named KASKAD 2007 is in trial operation in the NRC KI.
The report provides a brief description of the current state of the software package, including information on its structure, basic calculation and service modules, as well as some materials on their validation.
