Scope
This document provides guidance for performing and validating the sequence of steady-state calculations leading to prediction in all types of operating commercial nuclear reactors, of the following:
— reaction-rate spatial distributions;
— reactivity;
— change of nuclide compositions with time.
The document provides the following:
a) guidance for the selection of computational methods;
b) criteria for verification and validation of calculation methods used by reactor core analysts;
c) criteria for evaluation of accuracy and range of applicability of data and methods;
d) requirements for documentation of the preceding.
