Calculation of kinetic parameters βeff and Λ with modified open source Monte Carlo code OpenMC(TD)

Calculation of kinetic parameters βeff and Λ with modified open source Monte Carlo code OpenMC(TD)

This work presents the methodology used to expand the capabilities of the Monte Carlo code OpenMC for the calculation of reactor kinetic parameters: effective delayed neutron fraction βeff and neutron generation time Λ. The modified code, OpenMC(Time-Dependent) or OpenMC(TD), was then used to calcul...
