Abstract
This paper presents a dynamic neutron transport mode,
currently being implemented in the Serpent 2 Monte Carlo
code for the purpose of simulating short reactivity
transients with temperature feedback. The transport
routine is introduced and validated by comparison to
MCNP5 calculations. The method is also tested in
combination with an internal temperature feedback module,
which forms the inner part of a multi-physics coupling
scheme in Serpent 2. The demo case for the coupled
calculation is a reactivity-initiated accident (RIA) in
PWR fuel.
