Assesment of advanced step models for steady state Monte Carlo burnup calculations in application to prismatic HTGR

In this paper, we compare the methodology of different time-step models in the context of Monte Carlo burnup calculations for nuclear reactors. We discuss the differences between staircase step model, slope model, bridge scheme and stochastic implicit Euler method proposed in literature. We focus on...
