Abstract

Continuous-energy capabilities have been added to development versions of the KENO V.a and KENO-VI Monte Carlo packages within the SCALE code system. Recently, continuous-energy cross-section data has been added to SCALE based on ENDF/B-VI evaluations for more than 300 nuclides and a range of temperatures. Ongoing analyses have been able to demonstrate the accuracy of the new continuous-energy capabilities. This work describes recently completed calculations for a computational benchmark developed to assess codes and data used to calculate the Doppler coefficient with a range of UO 2 and MOX fuel types. Results are compared to MCNP calculations for the benchmark and are found to be in exceptionally good agreement.
