Abstract

KYLIN-V2.0 is an advanced lattice code developed in Nuclear Power Institute of China. The subgroup method, MOC method and Chebyshev rational approximation method (CRAM) are applied in the resonance, transport and burnup calculation to provide the macro cross-section library. In this paper, several critical experiments and burnup benchmarks, including B&W critical experiment, KRITZ critical experiment and Takahama-3 burnup benchmark, are applied in the validation of KYLIN-V2.0. KYLIN-V2.0 is validated by 21 cases in B&W-1484, 23 cases in B&W-1810 and 16 samples in Takahama-3. Eigenvalue, pin power distribution and nuclides density results of these cases show the good consistency compared with measured data. The KYLIN-V2.0 code shows good heterogeneous calculation ability for two-dimensional lattices.
