Development and testing of the code for automatic generating of multi-temperature continuous-energy neutron cross section libraries

摘要

In the nuclear reactor design, a code for automatically generated multi-temperature continuous-energy neutron cross section data library, which is called AMTND for short, was designed and developed to meet the need of the reactor core design coupled with thermal-hydraulic design. The code can provide a point-wise crosssection at any temperature for a Monte Carlo neutron transport program, such as MCNP. In ensuring that the nuclear data produced by AMTND meets the testing of critical benchmark experiments, the time-consumed by the nuclear data generating of AMTND compared with NJOY's was carried out and the result shows the code's excellence. In order to test the accuracy of the code, the Doppler coefficient test benchmark was also carried out and the results verified the code preliminarily.
