NEUP CINR-22-26727: Fast and Rigorous Methods for Multiphysics SPn Transport in Advanced Reactors

We propose to perform rigorous theoretical and numerical analysis of the Generalized SPn method and underlying cross section models to enable a fast and robust multiphysics low-order transport capability for advanced reactors. This includes 5 major tasks focused on the efficient discretization and solution of the GSPn equations, numerical analysis of XS models having multiphysics and depletion, analysis of equivalence factors, improved MC estimators, and several V&V applications of the methods.
