Abstract
The Virtual Environment for Reactor Applications (VERA) is being developed by the Consortiumfor the Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors (CASL). VERA is used to perform the Benchmark forEvaluation and Validation of Reactor Simulations (BEAVRS), which provides two cycles’ worth of operatingpower history, along with a full, detailed description of the geometry, and measured data. Cycle 1 and 2 aresimulated with VERA and the results are compared with the measured zero power physics tests, critical boronconcentration, and flux maps.
