Abstract
⺠Pin power gradients near BWR control rod tips have been investigated. ⺠A control rod tip is modeled in MCNP and compared to simplified 2D/3D geometry. ⺠Small nodes increases pin power gradients; standard nodes underestimates gradients. ⺠The MCNP results are validated against axial gamma scan of a controlled fuel pin.
