Conclusion

Congratulations on surviving your third OSCAR-5 tutorial! You have learned where to start with and how to create a a core-follow set for a newly built OSCAR-5 model. You have also been shown how to assess the accuracy of such a core model, by validating it against plant data for control rod calibrations and by doing code-to-code comparisons for both core-follow and rod calibration calculations.

You have now been introduced to the OSCAR-5 system, you have seen how to build reactor models, how to assess the accuracy of said models and how to do key applications with your model such as core-follow and reload calculations. Hopefully you now have the confidence to explore the OSCAR-5 system and apply it to your own reactor designs and calculations.
