摘要
The main purpose of this work is to study the possibility of using the few-group approximation for calculation of some neutron-physical characteristics of VVER-1000 core by means of special version of Monte Carlo Universal code. The Monte Carlo method for VVER-1000 core neutron-physical characteristics calculation using the few-group approximation with an estimate of neutron cross sections "by location" was provided and tested in this research. The reduction of calculation time due to the transition from a pointwise model of representation of cross sections to the few-group approximation and methodical error of this approach were evaluated. Optimal number of energy groups was determined. It was found that consideration of the scattering anisotropy leads to a significant decrease in methodical error. Ways of further reduction of methodical error were worked out.
