Abstract

Modeling of the neutron-physical characteristics of the Kyoto University KUCA subcritical facility was conducted using the Monte Carlo Serpent code. The effective multiplication factors for the critical experiments of the series II on the KUCA research subcritical facility were calculated. The presented calculation results were compared with the experimental results and the results of the calculations made using the Monte Carlo codes MCNP6 and KENO-VI.
