Nuclear Material Tungsten
Reduces the Material block length for Tungsten cladding within input files.
Description
This NuclearMaterialTungsten action reduces BISON input file length by internally generating the Materials required for simulating nitride nuclear liners, specifically Tungsten.
The user may elect to use the nuclear_material_Tungsten_table action to generate the necessary material classes for common nitride fuel simulations. All of the material blocks, generated with the default parameter settings, are shown in Table 1. These settings come from the simulations for the EBRII SP1 experiment SP1.
Fission Operation
This required parameter describes the characteristic type of fission study that will occur. For nitride fuel type simulations, this is simply labeled as fission_operation = Normal. This must be placed under the NuclearMaterials block heading and cannot be placed under sub-blocks such as Tungsten.
Table 1: Material classes created by the NuclearMaterialTungsten action
| Created Classes | Pre-Set Parameters | Block Name |

| TungstenElasticityTensor | liner_elasticity_tensor | |
| ComputeFiniteStrainElasticStress | liner_stress | |
| StrainAdjustedDensity | strain_free_density = 19300 | liner_density |
| TungstenThermal | liner_thermal | |
