Quantifying the fidelity of a novel methodology for in-core experiment prototyping at the advanced test reactor

We have recently developed and tested a new computational method for experiment prototyping at the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR). The method significantly reduces neutronic computation time while maintaining computational accuracy. In this thesis, we present the method and describe the techniques that...
