Abstract

For better estimation of few-group cross-section considering heterogeneous effect during subassembly homogenization in fast reactor analysis, especially in the multi-region system, the traditional spatial SuPer-Homogenization (SPH) method was implemented in the fewgroup cross-section generation module, named TULIP, in the SARAX system to preserve the reaction rate conservation during spatial homogenization. Recently, the Energy-collapsing SuPer-Homogenization (ESPH) method was introduced in the new TULIP module to obtain the multigroup-fewgroup equivalence during group condensation. Using ESPH method, the infinite multiplication factor and the region-wise reaction rate of subassembly calculation were strictly conserved before and after energy collapsing. Besides, this paper also provides another way to generate few-group cross-section by using a whole core spectrum when condensing, in which the ESPH method was also used.
