This document provides guidance for performing and validating the sequence of steady-state calculations leading to prediction, in all types of operating UO2-fuel commercial nuclear reactors, of:
  • — reaction-rate spatial distributions;
  • — reactivity;
  • — change of nuclide compositions with time.
The document provides:
  1. a) guidance for the selection of computational methods;
  2. b) criteria for verification and validation of calculation methods used by reactor core analysts;
  3. c) criteria for evaluation of accuracy and range of applicability of data and methods;
  4. d) requirements for documentation of the preceding.
