TL;DR: The Virtual Environment for Reactor Applications Core Simulator (VERA-CS) as discussed by the authors was developed and implemented to perform high-fidelity, pressurized water reactor (PWR), multicycle, core physics calculations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the methodology developed and implemented in MPACT for performing high fidelity pressurized water reactor (PWR) multi-cycle core physics calculations, including resonance self-shielding and computing macroscopic cross sections, 2-D/1-D transport, nuclide depletion, thermal-hydraulic feedback, and other supporting methods.
