Keywords:Molten Salt Reactor, KUCA, Reactor phsyics experiment, Numerical analysis

For the design of advanced reactors such as a Molten Salt Reactor, it is necessary to perform reactor physics experiments for code validation etc. In this research reactor physics experiments for the Kyoto University Critical Assembly (KUCA) are designed in support of Molten Salt Reactor research & development. The ERANOS software is used to evaluate the properties of the experiments in the KUCA core.
