Comparison of MCNP and WIMS-AECL / RFSP calculations with high temperature substitution experiments in ZED-2 using CANFLEX-LVRF

This paper summarizes comparisons of calculation results from MCNP5 and WIMS-AECL / RFSP with experimental results obtained from the Zero Energy Deuterium (ZED-2) critical facility, examining CANFLEX Low Void Reactivity Fuel (CANFLEX-LVRF) in heated channels, substituted into a reference lattice and cooled under ACR-like coolant conditions, with H2O, air, or CO 2 as an air substitute. CANFLEX-LVRF shares features in common with the ACR-1000 …
