Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the accuracy of neutron-physical calculations made using the so far used and alternative computational model of basic cell component of MARIA reactor core. For this purpose, an analysis of the accuracy of the calculation of the neutron flux and the effective multiplication factor by an alternative and existing computational model was done. The results were compared with the exact model of the core primary cell prepared using the MCNP computational code.
