PATRICIA Task 5.3 MARINE benchmark Dataset.zip

This data set archive is related to the study of the MARINE experiment performed in the frame of the Task 5.3 of the PATRICIA project.

The complete study is documented in the corresponding deliverable D5.3 of PATRICIA.

When expanding the archive file, the content is structured as follows:

·        “1 - Neutronics computations”: first level directory containing the input and output data related to the neutronic assessment of the MARINE experiment.

ü  “Input”: second level directory containing specific input data required by the neutronic calculations, namely the definition the neutron spectra in the HFR along the irradiation cycles of the MARINE experiment – information provided by NRG, the operator of the HFR.

ü  “Output”: second level directory containing the output data issued from the neutronic calculations. The data are distributed in two separate sub-directories, respectively related to the output from C4P-TRAIN (radial power profiles) and SERPENT-2 (cross-sections and fission yields).

·        “2 - FPCs computations”: first level directory containing the input and output data related to the simulation of the MARINE experiment with the fuel performance codes.

ü  “Input”: second level directory containing the input data required by the computations with the FPCs. One can find in particular the benchmark specifications, the nuclear data derived from the neutronic calculations and used on input by the FPCs (cross-sections and fission yields), and the adopted definition of the irradiation history. The relative axial heating profile along the fuel stack and the time-evolving radial power profiles in the fuel, issued from the preliminary computation by TRANSURANUS, are also provided.

ü  “Output & Comparisons CC CM”: second level directory containing the output data issued from the computations with the FPCs. A compilation of the PIE results in one EXCEL file is provided. The computation results are put in a dedicated sub-directory: “THERMAL spectrum”, in reference to the single assumption retained for the simulation of MARINE. In this sub-directory are provided the results files from the different codes, and a synthesis file showing the code-to-code and calculation-to-measure comparisons. The synthesis files is named “MARINE.xlsx”.
