Benchmark calculation AER VVER-1000 - ETE using BIPR8

Abstract

This article presents AER VVER-1000 - ETE benchmark results using the BIPR-8 nodal sparse-grid program.This paper contains a description of the benchmark AER VVER-1000 - ETE and short description of calculations using the BIPR-8 nodal sparse-grid program. Calculation were carried out at the full scale then the pin-by-pin power distribution was reconstructed, and results is compared with the results obtained in the MCNP program.
