SARAX team attended the BEPU-2018 conference which was held from 14 May to 18 May in Lucca, Italy. Three reports were delivered in this conference. Associate with the conference, the 4th workshop of UAM-SFR was also held. SARAX team reported some results of the benchmark exercise at the workshop.

In SARAX program, sensitivity and uncertainty analysis function was developed and validated. In the BEPU-2018 conference, a more accurate method for S&U analysis method of fast reactor simulation was introduced. The Validation work for SARAX program was reported in the conference, which demonstrated SARAX program.
Along with the conference, in UAM-SFR workshop, SARAX reported the results of Benchmark exercises. The sensitivity and uncertainty was analysed from a pin cell to a full core simulation.
