Abstract

Abstract

An advanced neutronic code system, SARCS-4, was developed in Nuclear Power Institute of China. To validate SARCS-4, an experimental program has been carried out. Based on the principles of single factor and variety of critical physics experiment, 3 types of mockup core layout were designed. The effects of control rod, burnable poison rod, shroud and core layout were studied. The calculation and analyses have shown that the core leakage, shroud effect, control rod and burnable poison rod effect are the key factors influencing the calculation precision. The accuracy of SARCS-4 has been confirmed by the mock-up critical physics experiments. Extended experimental program and further validation and improvement of SARCS-4 will be carried out in the future.
