Three-dimensional (3-D) transport corrections for Keff, control rod worths, neutron spectra and power distributions are calculated for the fast critical assemblies ZPPR-9, -10 and -13. The calculations are performed in 7 energy groups using the 3-D and 2-D transport codes TRITAC and TWOTRAN-II. The evaluated 3-D transport corrections are compared with those predicted by a 2-D RZ model and a combined XY, RZ and R model to assess the accuracy of these 2-D models. The RZ model yielded some errors in estimating the transport corrections to Keff, control rod worths, neutron spectrum and power distribution, while the combined model predicted them with good accuracy.
