GENERATING ALBEDO BOUNDARY CONDITIONS FOR NODAL DIFFUSION CODES USING SERPENT 2 [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2021 We use the Serpent Monte Carlo code to produce total and partial albedo boundary conditions that can be used to model the Loviisa NPP VVER-440 core with the nodal neutronics tools of Fortum. The albedo generation process is described in detail. The dependence of the generated albedos on boron content and water density is investigated and a clear ...
