THE ERANOS CODE AND DATA SYSTEM FOR FAST REACTOR NEUTRONIC ANALYSES
TLDR
It is concluded that ERANOS 2.0 can predict the main characteristics of conventional as well as advanced liquid-metal-cooled fast reactors with an excellent accuracy, and that it can also be used for modelling advanced fast reactor cores, source-driven sub-critical media and gas-cooling fast reactors.
