The Range of Neutronic Parameters for Repository Criticality Analyses technical report contains a summary of the benchmark criticality analyses (including the laboratory critical experiment [LCEs] and the commercial reactor criticals [CRCs]) used to support the validation of the criticality evaluation methods. This report also documents the development of the Critical Limits (CLs) for the repository criticality analyses.

The purpose of this engineering calculation is to document the benchmark range, over a variety of parameters, for the validation of the criticality calculations supporting the Monitored Geologic Repository (MGR). This engineering calculation accomplishes this by characterizing the Laboratory Critical Experiments (LCE) and the Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) Commercial Reactor Criticals (CRC), and summarizing the significant parameters. This engineering calculation supports the Disposal Criticality Analysis Methodology program.

The purpose of this calculation is to document the MCNP4B2L V evaluations of Laboratory Critical Experiments (LCEs) performed as part of the Disposal Criticality Analysis Methodology program. LCE evaluations documented in this report were performed for 182 different cases with varied design parameters. The objective of this analysis is to quantify the MCNP4B2LV code system's ability to accurately calculate the effective neutron multiplication factor (keff) for various critical configurations.

The purpose of this analysis is to document Waste Package Development Department (WPPD) MCNP evaluations of benchmark solution Laboratory Critical Experiments (LCE's). The objective of this analysis is to quantify the ability of the MCNP 4A (Reference 5.4) code system to accurately calculate the effective neutron multiplication factor (keff) for various measured critical (i.e., keff=1.0) configurations.

The purpose of this analysis is to document the MCNP evaluations of benchmark lattice Laboratory Critical Experiments (LCE's). The objective of this analysis is to quantify the MCNP 4A (Reference 5.4) code system's ability to accurately calculate the effective neutron multiplication factor (keff) for various measured critical (i.e., keff= 1.0) configurations. This analysis quantifies the effectiveness of the MCNP criticality calculation for lattice configurations containing U02 and Pu02 fissile oxide fuel using two different cross section data libraries.

The purpose of this calculation is to perform the same reactivity calculations as performed in Reference 7.1 and Reference 7.2 for a set of Laboratory Critical Experiments (LCE) except to change some of the cross section libraries as specified here, and to perform sixteen additional calculations for U233 LCEs.

The purpose of this engineering calculation is to document the MCNP4B2LVevaluations of Laboratory Critical Experiments (LCEs) performed as part of the Disposal Criticality Analysis Methodology program. LCE evaluations documented in this report were performed for 22 different cases with varied design parameters. Some of these LCEs (10) are documented in existing references (Ref. 7.1 and 7.2), but were re-run for this calculation file using more neutron histories.
