Nuclear Data Libraries and Codes Verification for Neutron Activation Calculation of Radioactive Inventory in WWER Decommissioning Problem

Abstract

The JPDR decommissioning benchmark has been treated by several kinds of transport software (Monte-Carlo and discrete ordinates technique with different libraries). Calculated fluxes and activities are compared properly with experimental data. Calculation data obtained previously (1994) are included in comparison as well. Some recommendations for data libraries and calculation technique are provided.
