VVER Regulatory Forum Working Group on Reactor Physics Analysis meeting was held at the HAEA between 1-3 of October, 2019. This was the 7th working group meeting whose main topic was the evaluation of benchmark calculation proposals for VVER-1000 type reactors, to analyse the neutron physical behaviour of the reactor core.
The participants presented the latest
calculation results performed using various reactor physical codes, and
discussed the proposed tasks in the field of benchmark calculations. There
were presentations in other reactor physical topics, like development of
new nuclear fuel types, introduction of new fuel loading and start-up core
monitoring systems, developing new methods for simulating Loss-of-Coolant-Accidents.
