Abstract
The benchmark concerning the series of experiments performed for
Japanese experimental fast reactor JOYO to determine its basic features was
calculated with two Monte Carlo neutron transport codes: MCNP4C and PSG. The
purpose of the work was to compare the performance of the two codes to each
other and the simulations to the measurements. The calculation tasks were
based on two different accuracy levels of the geometry description, the
homogeneous and heterogeneous models. It was observed that the codes provided
quite consistent results with each other. But when compared to the
experimental results, the reliability of the simulations was varying.
Especially small changes of the multiplication factor caused a great loss of
accuracy.
