Abstract
The purpose of the TOPAS project has been to maintain and
develop stationary reactor physics code system, covering
a wide range of calculation needs. Main results have been
the development of a new Monte Carlo code Serpent,
advanced methods for burnup calculations, and the
development of sensitivity and uncertainty analysis
methods. There has also been a strong interest in
educating new competent people to work in field of
reactor physics and nuclear safety. Several university
degrees have been taken during the first two years of the
project, and the educational objectives have been well
fulfilled. International co-operation has also been
active. The results of the project will serve the needs
of both the safety authorities and the power utilities.
