Abstract
<p>Kraken is a new computational reactor analysis framework under development at VTT Technical Research Center of Finland Ltd. The framework builds heavily on the new generation of Finnish simulation codes such as the Serpent Monte Carlo code, the Ants nodal neutronics solver and the FINIX fuel behavior module. This paper describes the application of Kraken to its first realistic full core problem, a small modular reactor (SMR) core in its fresh state in order to evaluate control rod worths, shutdown margins and reactivity coefficients for the core.</p>
