In this paper, a computational model using Monte Carlo codes has been implemented for the modelling of an accelerator-driven Aqueous Homogeneous Subcritical Systems (AHSS) conceptual design for medical isotope production. It aims to contribute to the verification and validation of the computational model and the most up-to-date evaluated nuclear data libraries for the AHSS study. The calculation tasks performed were to compute and compare the AHSS neutronic parameters of interest using two widely used codes, MCNP6 and Serpent 2. The results section is divided into three main types of calculation: criticality calculations, fixed-source calculations and fuel depletion/burnup calculations. All percentage differences between the results of the codes are generally lower than 1% and agree within the statistical precision of the codes with a confidence level of 99.7%. |
