EBR II PHYSICS BENCHMARK

NEUP 2014-2017

In September of 2014, Dr. Pope was awarded a three-year $400,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to prepare an Experimental Breeder Reactor II reactor physics benchmark evaluation. The project developed a reactor physics benchmark evaluation of the Experimental Breeder Reactor II (EBR-II) suitable for inclusion in the International Reactor Physics Experiment Evaluation Project (IRPhEP) handbook
