title = "Analysis of the oecd mslb benchmark with the coupled neutronic and thermal-hydraulics code RELAP5/PARCS",
abstract = "The USNRC version of the 3D neutron kinetics code PARCS (Purdue Advanced Reactor Core Simulator) has been coupled with the USNRC thermal-hydraulics codes RELAP5. The OECD/NEA PWR MSLB benchmark problem was performed in order to provide an assessment of RELAP5/PARCS and in order to evaluate the differences in the point kinetics and spatial kinetics analysis of the MSLB transient. Results are presented using both the “best estimate” and “return to power” cross section sets provided in the benchmark problem. In both cases, an increase in the shutdown margin is provided by the spatial kinetics solution.",
