In order to support operation, upgrades and the design of new
irradiation facilities, a comprehensive MCNP model of the UWNR core
has been developed and benchmarked against operation parameters from
the first core loading.
Ongoing efforts include an analysis of core burnup and benchmarking against new special-purpose measurements of neutron and gamma doses at various reactor locations. PublicationsPaul W.
