I’m looking for any SMR Small Modular Reactors design (NuScale, SMART, etc) benchmark simulated by written OpenMC code.

You can find a NuScale-like model here:

> **[GitHub - mit-crpg/ecp-benchmarks: Models for the ECP ExaSMR project](https://github.com/mit-crpg/ecp-benchmarks)**
>

Note that while the general dimensions should match the NuScale design, it doesn’t have correct fuel compositions as those are proprietary.
