Abstract
In this paper, we present the critical experiment performed in March 2008 in the high-flux reactor (HFR) to reproduce physical conditions similar to the core light water introduction accident. We present the HFR, the context of the study and two Monte Carlo models: TRIPOLI4 – JEFF3.1 and MCNP – ENDF/BVII. All comparisons between calculations and experimental results show, within both models, that the safety rods efficiencies, in AIC alloy, are always underestimated in normal as well as in accidental configuration of the reactor.
