This paper summarizes the Validation work performed to demonstrate the accuracy of the new APOLLO2.8/SHEM-MOC package based on JEFF3.1.1 nuclear data file for the prediction of BWR neutronics parameters. The Uncertainty Quantification derived from the experimental validation points out that design target-accuracies are met.
