Methods:
2
The
k
eff
and power distribution were calculated and compared with MCNP(Monte Carlo N Particle Transport Code)
and parallel efficiency was analyzed.
Results:
2
The SuperMC calculation results agreed well with those of MCNP
with the parallel efficiency reaching up to 98.7% by using 640 processors.
Conclusion:
2
