Benchmark Validation of DRAGON Program Using WIMS-D Nuclear Data Library

Through a series of benchmarks based on experiments, this paper validates the calculations of DRAGON3.05B with WIMS-D nuclear data library, and testes the correctness of its criticality and its isotope prediction and k_∞ in burnup calculation of various fuel materials and different lattices. By the comparison of the results of WIMSD-5B using WIMS-D and ENDF/B-VI.8, respectively, the result indicates that the calculation of DRAGON3.05B using WIMS-D is reliable and can satisfy the requirement of TACR design.
