Problem Statement
Design and analysis of available as well as future nuclear criticality experiments
Technical Approach
Critical experiments are modeled via available nuclear codes and desired calculations such as criticality, shielding, and uncertainty are performed to understand underlying physics and data assessments
Benefit
Integral experiments will help to identify any gaps or issues within nuclear data and methods. It will be also useful to create a guide for future experiments and analysis by identifying any sensitive or important aspects of the experiments and modeling
