Abstract
AbstractStudsvik has recently extended the CASMO5 advanced lattice physics code for the analysis of VVER 1000 and 1200 reactors. These extensions form the basis of CASMO5-VVER, which is primarily intended to compute homogenized nodal data for SIMULATE5-VVER. CASMO5-VVER leverages the latest nuclear data and numerical methods to VVER analyses. The current CASMO5 data library, based on the ENDF/B-VII.1 nuclear data evaluation, features a 586 energy group structure and nuclear data for hundreds of unique nuclides. Resonance self-shielding, based on the Equivalence Theory and an Optimal Two-Term Rational (OTTR) method, has been extended to support hexagonal geometry. The solution to the two-dimensional transport equation is based on the new Linear Source (LS) approximation for the Method of Characteristics (MOC). The acceleration of the MOC solution is attained through the implementation of a Coarse-Mesh Nonlinear Diffusion (CMND) acceleration. Results from preliminary validation against various critical experiments are presented in this work.
