Abstract

The dynamic method of effective multiplication factor k_eff calculation is discussed and the dynamic Monte Carlo code based on Geant4 toolkit is developed.The effective multiplication factor k_eff of GodivaI reactor（in benchmark） and systems which are far from critical has been calculated using this method. Results show that the K static method is only accurate for the system that is close to critical,and dynamic method can be used not only for the system that is close to critical but also for the system that is far from critical.
