Abstract:
A multi-group data module and a subgroup resonance calculation code were designed for Neutronics Evaluation Comprehensive Package based on subgroup method in this paper. A self-advanced 2D transport module called matrix MOC was employed as solver in subgroup resonance calculation module. Finally, a series of resonance benchmarks were calculated by MCNP and subgroup code respectively, and the
kinf and macro cross section of
235U and
238U by MCNP and subgroup code were compared. The results show that the subgroup code has enough accuracy and adaptability for arbitrary geometries and it’s suitable for 2D arbitrary resonance calculation.
