Abstract
Polaris is a 2D multigroup lattice physics capability in the SCALE code system used for the analysis of light water reactor fuel designs. Verification and validation results of Polaris in SCALE 6.2 are presented. The SCALE/KENO continuous-energy Monte Carlo code is used as a reference to compare the results of more than 2,000 combinations of pressurized water reactor and boiling water reactor lattice designs and state points. Radiochemical assay measurements were also used to assess the accuracy of depletion calculations. Results show that Polaris, with ENDF/B-VII.1 cross section library, produces accurate lattice physics data for core simulators.
