摘要：

A static, full core calculation for IAEA 10 MWth Material Test Reactor (MTR) benchmark problem is carried out using a standard set of computer code systems, namely: (i) WIMSD/4, TWOTRAN and NEMSQR and (ii) DRAGON and NEMSQR. The current work focuses on the evaluation of various important neutronic parameters such as neutron multiplication factor, reactivity feedback coefficients, reactivity worth of control devices, etc. of the IAEA 10 MWth MTR benchmark reactor, using the above code systems. The IAEA 10 MWth benchmark problem is useful for testing the ability of a code to reliably simulate a compact, highly heterogeneous core made up of U235-enriched fuel in plate-type geometry. The study is carried out to validate the calculation methodology currently adopted by us for plate-type fuel assemblies and compact reactor cores while using these standard computer codes.
