The Fast REactor NEutronics/Thermal-hydraulICs (FRENETIC) code has been developed during the last years at Politecnico di Torino, implementing a full-core coupled neutronic/thermal-hydraulics model for steady-state and transient analysis of liquid-metal cooled fast breeder reactor (LMFBR). In the framework of the validation activities for the code, an analysis of the sodium-cooled reactor EBR-II, previously carried out in the frame of a IAEA Coordinated Research Project, is performed with FRENETIC including the most recent physics models. In particular, photon transport and heat deposition are taken into account, a feature which has been proved in previous studies to be relevant to the correct study of the EBR-II core. To this purpose, a set of nuclear data for photons has been generated by means of the Monte Carlo code Serpent-2, and it is demonstrated that the code is able to take into account the photon heat deposition in the EBR-II.
