- Summary:
- The role of temperature in criticality safety evaluations is of significant international interest since temperature affects physical parameters, such as material density or phase, as well as neutronic parameters such as reaction cross sections through the Doppler effect. To better understand variations associated with temperature-dependent calculations for systems containing water, an inter code comparison benchmark was proposed. This benchmark is based upon a previous investigation considering the effect of an SiO2 reflector on pressurised water reactor (PWR) fuel (NEA, 2020). A total of 30 subcases were used as a basis to assess the contribution of various parameters, primarily temperature but also boundary (reflective) conditions and burn-up.
