Using the Scale Software for Critical Analysis

KnE Engineering / XIII International Youth Scientific and Practical Conference "FUTURE OF ATOMIC ENERGY - AtomFuture 2017" / Pages 371-378

Abstract

This article shows the experience of using the SCALE software package (hereinafter SCALE) to analyze the criticality of critical benchmark experiments. This experience was obtained during the familiarization of SCALE for research purposes on the basis of the Department of Nuclear Physics and Technologies (DNPaT) of the IATE MEPhI. Test calculations of the effective multiplication factor ( ) critical assemblies with different parameters was produced, research different method of calculate multigroup constants.
