Description
This two-page abstract presents a benchmarking study of the OpenMC Monte Carlo code using the University of Florida Training Reactor (UFTR) as a graphite-moderated test case. It outlines the development of a high-fidelity OpenMC model, the simulation setup, and comparison with experimental reactivity data. The abstract demonstrates OpenMC’s accuracy in modeling graphite-moderated systems and discusses its potential for Generation IV reactor analysis.
