Critical experiments of two cores each loaded with fresh 5×5 test PWR-type fuel rods of 235U enrichment of 3.8 wt% or irradiated 5×5 test rods of rod average burnup of 55 GWd/t in the REBUS program were analyzed using diffusion, transport, and continuous-energy Monte Carlo calculation codes coupled with nuclear data libraries based on JENDL-3.2 and JENDL-3.3. Biases in effective multiplication factors keff’s of the critical cores were about −1.2%Δk for the diffusion calculations (JENDL-3.2), −0.5%Δk for the transport calculations (JENDL-3.3), and −0.5 and 0.1%Δk for the Monte Carlo calculations (JENDL-3.3 and JENDL-3.2, respectively). The measured core fission rate and Sc- or Co-activation rate distributions were generally well reproduced using the three types of calculation. The burnup reactivity determined using the measured water level reactivity coefficients was −2.35±0.07Δk⁄kk′. The calculated result of the Monte Carlo calculations agreed with it; however, the diffusion and transport calculations overestimated the absolute value by about 7%, which would be mainly attributed to the errors in the calculation of the reactivity caused by changing the fuel compositions from fresh fuel to irradiated fuel.
