A specific work package has been dedicated to studying the design-and safety-related neutronic parameters and reactor physics behavior of the SCW-SMR to support the pre-conceptual design process. Three Monte Carlo codes, viz., MCNP, OpenMC, and Serpent, were selected for pre-conceptual design applications and code-to-code comparison within the Gen-IV SCWR-FQT reactor physics computational benchmark. The effective multiplication factor, the axial power distribution within the fuel, the axial three-group neutron flux distribution, and the spatial distribution of the energy deposition due to neutron and photon interactions were determined. In this paper, results and lessons learned from this study are presented, and useful considerations are summarized to provide guidance in obtaining consistent results among the three Monte Carlo codes.}, keywords = {Monte Carlo; SCWR; SMR; Fuel Qualification Test}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1873-2100} } @article{MTMT:33723519, title = {On the Effect of Scalar Flux Weighting of Linearly Anisotropic Scattering Matrices in Higher-Order Transport Calculations}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33723519}, author = {Böröczki, Zoltán István and Babcsány, Boglárka and Maróti, János Endre and Szieberth, Máté}, doi = {10.1080/00295639.2023.2167469}, journal-iso = {NUCL SCI ENG}, journal = {NUCLEAR SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING}, volume = {197}, unique-id = {33723519}, issn = {0029-5639}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1943-748X}, pages = {1545-1563}, orcid-numbers = {Szieberth, Máté/0000-0001-9192-0352} } @CONFERENCE{MTMT:32909817, title = {Comparative Analysis of Energy Deposition Modes Available in Serpent 2 Within the Framework of the Supercritical Water Reactor - Fuel Qualification Test Reactor Physics Benchmark}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32909817}, author = {Babcsány, Boglárka and Giusti, Valerio and Moise, Andreea and Chow, J.C.}, booktitle = {International Conference on Physics of Reactors 2022 (PHYSOR 2022)}, unique-id = {32909817}, year = {2022}, pages = {2102-2111} } @CONFERENCE{MTMT:32909803, title = {On the Effect of Scalar Flux Weighting of Linearly Anisotropic Scattering Matrices in Few-Group Transport Calculations}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32909803}, author = {Babcsány, Boglárka and Böröczki, Zoltán István and Maróti, János Endre and Szieberth, Máté}, booktitle = {International Conference on Physics of Reactors 2022 (PHYSOR 2022)}, unique-id = {32909803}, year = {2022}, pages = {254-263}, orcid-numbers = {Szieberth, Máté/0000-0001-9192-0352} } @article{MTMT:32788841, title = {Hybrid finite-element-based numerical solution of the SP3 equations – SP3 solution of two- and three-dimensional VVER reactor problems}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32788841}, author = {Babcsány, Boglárka and Pós, István and Böröczki, Zoltán István and Kis, Dániel Péter}, doi = {10.1016/j.anucene.2022.109117}, journal-iso = {ANN NUCL ENERGY}, journal = {ANNALS OF NUCLEAR ENERGY}, volume = {173}, unique-id = {32788841}, issn = {0306-4549}, abstract = {As a follow-up to the paper previously published by the authors detailing the hybrid finite element (HYBFEM) solution of the SP3 equations, in this paper, besides a semi-analytical solver verification with an analysis on the applied source fitting polynomial order, three-dimensional VVER-440, and VVER-1000 benchmarks are reproduced with the continuous Galerkin (CGFEM) and HYBFEM SP3 modules of the SPNDYN code. The effect of the applied axial nodalisation and radial element order on the calculation results is discussed. The HYBFEM solver extended with a discontinuity factor (DCF) calculation module based on Serpent 2 output parameters is verified on a two-dimensional VVER-1000 benchmark. The SPNDYN CGFEM and HYBFEM results show very good agreement. We also verify that by introducing DCFs in SP3 calculations, the reference transport solution can be reproduced with high accuracy. We highlight the effect of using scalar flux weighted linearly anisotropic scattering matrices in higher-order transport calculations.}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1873-2100} } @mastersthesis{MTMT:32707657, title = {Development of a finite-element-based reactor physics code system for the solution of the simplified P3 approximation to the neutron transport equation}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32707657}, author = {Babcsány, Boglárka}, publisher = {Budapest University of Technology and Economics}, unique-id = {32707657}, year = {2022} } @article{MTMT:32120420, title = {A telephelyvizsgálat a nukleáris biztonság szolgálatában}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32120420}, author = {Aszódi, Attila and Babcsány, Boglárka}, doi = {10.1556/2065.182.2021.7.2}, journal-iso = {MAGYAR TUDOMÁNY}, journal = {MAGYAR TUDOMÁNY}, volume = {182}, unique-id = {32120420}, issn = {0025-0325}, year = {2021}, eissn = {1588-1245}, pages = {865-883} } @article{MTMT:31882167, title = {Steady-state neutronic measurements and comprehensive numerical analysis for the BME training reactor}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31882167}, author = {Ványi, András Szabolcs and Babcsány, Boglárka and Böröczki, Zoltán István and Horváth, András and M., Hursin and Szieberth, Máté and Czifrus, Szabolcs}, doi = {10.1016/j.anucene.2021.108144}, journal-iso = {ANN NUCL ENERGY}, journal = {ANNALS OF NUCLEAR ENERGY}, volume = {155}, unique-id = {31882167}, issn = {0306-4549}, year = {2021}, eissn = {1873-2100}, orcid-numbers = {Szieberth, Máté/0000-0001-9192-0352} } @article{MTMT:31852673, title = {Hybrid finite-element-based numerical solution of the multi-group SP3 equations and its application on hexagonal reactor problems}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31852673}, author = {Babcsány, Boglárka and Pós, István and Kis, Dániel Péter}, doi = {10.1016/j.anucene.2021.108148}, journal-iso = {ANN NUCL ENERGY}, journal = {ANNALS OF NUCLEAR ENERGY}, volume = {155}, unique-id = {31852673}, issn = {0306-4549}, abstract = {The C-PORCA reactor physics code of the Paks Nuclear Power Plant performs three-dimensional, two-group diffusion calculations applying parametrized group constants generated by the HELIOS code. To improve the accuracy of the calculations, the C-PORCA code was extended with a simplified spherical harmonics module. This paper presents the applied finite-element-based solution algorithm of the SP3 equations in response matrix formalism. Radially primal mixed-hybrid finite element method is used for response matrix calculation with the inclusion of Lagrange multipliers to enforce nodal balance on each element. The axial solution is analytically performed connecting the axial and radial directions through radial leakage with transverse integration. Coupling between the adjacent volumetric elements is performed with node-to-node axial and radial partial current-like moment iterations, that enables the application of SP3 discontinuity factors and the parallelization of the calculation process. The accuracy of the SP3 solution algorithm is demonstrated on academic benchmark and VVER-440 core calculations.}, year = {2021}, eissn = {1873-2100} } @article{MTMT:31615584, title = {Finite element solution of the time-dependent SP 3 equations using an implicit integration scheme}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31615584}, author = {Babcsány, Boglárka and Bartók, T. and Kis, Dániel Péter}, doi = {10.3139/124.200004}, journal-iso = {KERNTECHNIK}, journal = {KERNTECHNIK}, volume = {85}, unique-id = {31615584}, issn = {0932-3902}, year = {2020}, eissn = {2195-8580}, pages = {292-300} }
