Abstract: Abstract Driven by the growing interest in the nuclear industry in high-fidelity simulations for design and safety analysis of nuclear reactors, the EU Horizon 2020 McSAFE project was set to tackle the implementation of multiphysics tools based on the Monte Carlo particle transport method. The general objective of the project is to improve the prediction of local safety parameters at pin level in Light Water Reactors (LWRs) solving large-scale pin-by-pin depletion and transient problems. This report presents a summary of the simulations performed in the ForHLR II cluster in the framework of the McSAFE project. The HPC resources provided by ForHLR II are critical for the execution of the project, and provide an excellent infrastructure to demonstrate the developed capabilities to the reactor physics community.
