Sažetak
A Pool Critical Assembly Pressure Vessel Facility Benchmark (PCA benchmark) has been chosen for qualification of our methodology for pressure vessel neutron fluence calculations, as required by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulatory guide. The SCALE (Standardized Computer Analysis for Licensing Evaluation) code package, developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, was used for modelling of the PCA benchmark. The CSAS6 sequence of the SCALE code package, which includes KENO-VI Monte Carlo code, was used for calculation of equivalent fission fluxes. The calculations were performed using three different models for unit cell of PCA benchmark facility core. The comparison of calculational results and benchmark data showed a good agreement of the calculated and measured equivalent fission fluxes. No systematic decrease of agreements between calculations and measurements with increasing distance of detector from the PCA benchmark facility core was observed for any of unit cell models.
