Abstract
  • Several computer codes based on one and two-group diffusion theory models were developed for SHUFFLE. The programs were developed to calculate power distributions in a two-dimensional quarter core geometry of a pressurized power reactor. The various coarse-mesh numerical computations for the power calculations yield the following: the Borresen's scheme applied to the modified one-group power calculation came up with an improved power distribution, the modified Borresen's method yielded a more accurate power calculations than the Borresen's scheme, the face dependent discontinuity factor method have a better prediction of the power distribution than the node averaged discontinuity factor method, Both the face dependent discontinuity factor method and the modified Borresen's methods for the two-group model have quite attractive features.
