The requirements of ANSI/ANS 8.1 specify that calculational methods for away-from-reactor
criticality safety analyses be validated against experimental measurements. If credit for the negative
reactivity of the depleted (or spent) fuel isotopics is desired, it is necessary to benchmark
computational methods against spent fuel critical configurations. This report summarizes a portion
of the ongoing effort to benchmark away-from-reactor criticality analysis methods using critical
configurations from commercial pressurized-water reactors.
