Deterministic-Monte Carlo Hybrid Methods for Eigenvalue Sensitivity Coefficient Calculations [Slides]

Hybrid method was developed based on a need to generate accurate sensitivities for specified systems with CLUTCH. This new method provides improved sensitivities with HMF-028-001, specifically with 238 U in the large reflector region. With the importance of each voxel predetermined with the adjoint flux, the hybrid method is able to generate more accurate sensitivities. More testing is needed for other types of systems and materials (i.e., thermal and intermediate energy ranges and different moderators and reflectors). Initial results are very promising and continual development of the new hybrid method is currently in progress.

Hybrid Method for Eigenvalue Sensitivity Coefficient Calculations: Part II [Slides]

The hybrid method stemmed from a need to develop a way for CLUTCH to generate more accurate sensitivity coefficients for systems with large fissionable reflectors (i.e., HMF-028-001). For additional systems, the method has been shown to generate accurate sensitivity coefficients for a variety of systems with different fissile nuclides, fissile forms, and neutron energy spectra.
