In this paper the uncertainties of the neutronic calculations at core level – originating from the uncertainties of the basic nuclear data – are presented. The investigations have been made for a VVER-1000 core (Kozloduy-6) defined in the frame of the OECD NEA UAM benchmark. In the first part of the paper, the uncertainties of the effective multiplication factor, the assembly-wise radial power distribution, the axial power distribution and the rod worth are shown. After that the preliminary evaluation of the uncertainties of the neutron kinetic calculations are presented for a rod movement transient at HZP (Hot Zero Power) state, where the uncertainties of the time dependent core and assembly powers and the dynamic reactivity were evaluated. In both cases, we will see that the most important quantities –at core level and at HZP state – have a considerable uncertainty which is originating from the uncertainties of the basic cross section library in these investigations.

Uncertainties of the neutronic calculations at core level determined by the KARATE code system and the KIKO3D code
