The impact of fuel depletion scheme within SCALE code on the criticality of spent fuel pool with RBMK fuel assemblies

RBMK fuel assemblies differ from other LWR FA due to a specific arrangement of the fuel rods, the low enrichment, and the used burnable absorber – erbium. Therefore, there is a challenge to adapt modeling tools, developed for other LWR types, to solve RBMK problems. A set of 10 different depletion s...
