title = "Application of TDKENO to TREAT temperature-limited transients",
abstract = "TDKENO (Time Dependent KENO) is a computer program that uses a hybrid method for solving the time-dependent, three dimensional (3-D) Boltzmann transport equation with explicit representation of delayed neutrons [1-3]. The methodology used for the time variable is the improved quasi-static (IQS) method, which is a flux factorization method. For systems like Transient RE-Actor Test facility (TREAT) at Idaho National Laboratory (INL), TDKENO is expected to calculate accurate time-dependent system power and total yield as well as point kinetics parameters such as reactivity and effective delayed neutron fractions with appropriate feedback. TREAT was originally designed to enable a short high-energy neutron pulse leading to rapid energy deposition within mockups of fast reactor fuel elements under controlled conditions without harm to the reactor itself [4]. Three temperature-limited transients performed in TREAT are modeled in TDKENO in order to recreate experimental results. An accurate recreation of previously documented transients will allow for more accurate simulations of reactor environments during future transient operations and experiments.",
