PNC's Results on the Metal-Fueled Fast Reactor Benchmarks

Oki, Shigeo ; Yamamoto, Toshihisa

WPPR(Working Party on Physics of Plutonium Recycling) has been organized in Nuclear Science Committee of OECD/NEA since November l992. More than ten advanced countries (France, United Kingdom, Germany, Russia, United States, Canada, Japan, etc.) participate in this working party. An aim of WPPR is to clarify some physical issues related to the technology for recycle of plutonium. To evaluate different scenarios for the use of plutonium, international benchmarks were developed for various types of reactors (MOX-fueled fast reactor, metal-fueled fast reactor, PWR and advanced converter). Among these, we contributed to the metal-fueled fast reactor benchmarks. In this report, our calculated results are summarized with all the information required. Each result is listed independently in a table according to the sequence indicated in the benchmark proposal, NEA/NSC/DOC(93)24.
