Currently, most reactor simulation codes use predefined constant or variable time steps for simulation, which is inefficient. Available adaptive time step methods in the area of neutron transport and reactor kinetics are rather based on multistep and

The stability and accuracy of an adaptive time step control scheme are analyzed for the transient diffusion equation. This scheme is based on the commonly-implemented backward difference discretization of the diffusion equation and recommends optimal

We improve the convergence properties of cellwise block iteration for discrete-ordinates radiation-transport calculations by adapting it for use as a smoother within a multigrid method. Cellwise bl...

A method is detailed for the stochastic generation of multigroup cross sections. This paper describes a solid theoretical framework for development of multigroup (discrete energy) nuclear data from continuous energy evaluated nuclear data files by Mo

A new solution technique is derived for the time-dependent transport equation. This approach extends the steady-state coarse-mesh transport method that is based on global-local decompositions of la...

An 8-group cross section library is provided to augment a previously published 2-group 3D stylized half-core Canadian deuterium uranium (CANDU) reactor benchmark problem. Reference eigenvalues and selected pin and bundle fission rates are also includ

To assess the accuracy of diffusion or transport methods for reactor calculations, it is desirable to create heterogeneous benchmark problems that are typical of whole core configurations. In this paper we have created two and three dimensional numer

A 3D stylized half-core Canadian deuterium uranium (CANDU) reactor benchmark problem is presented. The benchmark problem is comprised of a heterogeneous lattice of 37-element natural uranium fuel bundles, heavy water moderated, heavy water cooled, wi

An efficient response-based solution to the time-dependent neutron transport equation in a semi-infinite slab is derived. The solution is based on polynomial expansions of the source terms and neutron flux in the time domain. The expansion coefficien
