Abstract

Simulations of Wolsong-1 Phase-B commissioning measurements have been performed, as part of the program to validate WIMS-AECL lattice cell calculations for application to CANDU reactor simulations in RFSP. A required component of these simulations is the calculation of incremental cross sections representing reactivity control devices in the reactor. The incremental cross section properties of the Wolsong-1 adjusters, Mechanical Control Absorbers (MCA) and liquid Zone Control Units (ZCU) are based on the WIMS-AECL/MULTICELL modelling methods and the results are compared with those of WIMS-AECL/DRAGON-2 modelling methods.
