Fast Reactors and Accelerator Driven Systems Knowledge Base

Working Materials of the Technical Working Group on Fast Reactors

The fourth Research Co-ordination Meeting (RCM) on "Updated Codes and Methods to Reduce the Calculational Uncertainties of Liquid Metal Fast Reactors Reactivity Effects”, IPPE, Obninsk, Russian Federation, 19–23 May 2003
report nr.: TWGFR/113
IAEA-RC-803.4
 
The fourth Research Co-ordination Meeting (RCM) of the Co-ordinated Research Project (CRP) on “Updated Codes and Methods to Reduce the Calculational Uncertainties of the LMFR Reactivity Effect” was held during 19-23 May, 2003 in Obninsk, Russian Federation.

The general objective of the CRP is to validate, verify and improve methodologies and computer codes used for the calculation of reactivity coefficients in fast reactors aiming at enhancing the utilization of plutonium and minor actinides. The first RCM took place in Vienna on 24 - 26 November 1999.

The meeting was attended by 19 participants from 7 Member States and one from an international organization (France, Germany, India, Japan, Rep. of Korea, Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, and IAEA). The participants from two Member States (China and the U.S.A.) provided their results and presentation materials even though being absent at the meeting.
