摘要: Dubna Cascade Code (version-2004) has been used for the Monte Carlo simulation of 1500 MWt accelerator driven sub-critical system (ADS) with 233U + 232Th fuel using IAEA benchmark. Neutron spectrum, cross-section (n, xn) reactions, isotopic yield, heat spectra etc. are simulated. Many these results that help in understanding benchmark presented. It is revealed code predicts proton beam current required ADS K eff = 0.98 to be 11.6 mA. Radial distribution fairly agreement other codes like EA-MC and it needs nearly 1% less enrichment than given by codes. This may because takes care role larger order reactions. emphasized there a strong need study reactions both theoretically experimentally better design.
