Atomic Energy Society of Japan 2017 Annual Meeting, joint session of "sigma advisory committee", "subcommittee on nuclear data" and "subcommittee on reactor physics"; Current status and future perspective of the Verification and Validation (V&V) of JENDL and neutronics calculation codes by use of the benchmark problems and integral experiments, 2; International benchmarks of OECD/NEA in the field of the neutronics calculation

Suyama, Kenya

The benchmark calculation is one of the main activities of the Nuclear Science Committee under the Nuclear Energy Agency of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD/NEA/NSC). The international benchmark relatively frequently means the benchmark activity carried out by the NEA. In this manuscript, the author discusses the significance of the international benchmark by describing (i) the current status of the benchmark in the field of the reactor physics conducted by the OECD/NEA/NSC, (ii) revision of the neutronics calculation code system to reflect the results of the benchmark, (iii) the benchmark calculation as the asset for the future research and development, (iv) examples of the benchmark calculation based on the experimental data, and (v) how to propose the benchmark in the OECD/NEA/NSC.
