It is rather difficult to measure the effective delayed neutron fraction with experiments, so it becomes important to obtain their accurate calculation values. We study calculation methods for the effective delayed neutron fraction by analyzing various fast neutron systems including the bare spherical systems (Godiva, Jezebel, Skidoo, Jezebel-240), the reflective spherical systems (Popsy, Topsy, Flattop-23), MASURCA-R2 and MASURCA-ZONA2, and FCA XIX-1, XIX-2 and XIX-3. These analyses are performed by using SLAROM-UF and CBG for the deterministic method and MVP-II for the Monte Carlo method. We calculate the effective delayed neutron fraction with various definitions such as the fundamental value, the standard definition, Nauchi's definition and Meulekamp's definition, and compare these results with each other.

Times Cited Count:26 Percentile:83.26(Nuclear Science & Technology)Monte Carlo calculation methods to estimate the effective delayed neutron fraction are investigated: One is proposed by Meulekamp et al. and the other is by Nauchi et al. It is revealed that both the methods calculate the delayed neutron fraction weighted with the importance functions defined by Kobayashi. The accuracy of the methods are also examined for several simple benchmark systems. Consequently, it is found that Meulekamp's method causes
5% discrepancies in the
values for fast systems; Nauchi's method gives good results for fast bare systems but
10% discrepancies for fast reflected systems. Both the methods calculate the
values approximately within the accuracy of
2% for thermal systems.

To calculate the effective delayed neutron fraction with a Monte Carlo code, Nauchi's method and van der Marck's method have been proposed. The errors due to these methods are quantified by using a deterministic code. It is found that van der Marck's method always results in larger values of
than Nauchi's method and that a multi-generation effect, which is neglected in both the methods, has a significant impact on
for reflected systems.
