Simulation and Prediction of SONGS Reactor Antineutrino Flux Using the DRAGON Code

ORAL

Abstract

We present a comparison of the predicted antineutrino flux from the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) PWR reactor with the determinstic lattice code, DRAGON. This simulation will be used to benchmark the DRAGON code for use in predicting an antineutrino flux for the Double Chooz experiment. We can also make a comparison between DRAGON and ORIGEN-ARP, another code used to model the antineutrino flux.
