Abstract
The novel critical spectrum burnup capability in Serpent 2 is demonstrated with lattice burnup calculations of two assembly types from the Khmelnitsky 2 VVER-1000 benchmark. The effect of critical versus infinite spectrum on nuclide densities and system reactivity are evaluated. Results calculated with HELIOS serve as a comparison.
