Abstract
Recent improvements in the PHISICS code are listed and discussed. Also, the assessment of the PHISICS code for fast reactor design applications is considered. For this purpose a comparison with the deterministic code ERANOS2.2 and the stochastic MCNPX is per- formed on the lead-cooled concept ALFRED. The results indicate good general agree- ment between the codes on the integral quantities usually of interest in reactor design. Also the analysis highlighted PHISICS's possibility of keeping low the computational time even when using higher order approximations.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
