LWR NuclearMaterial Actions

For standard elastic LWR simulations there are 3 distinct actions that can be used. Information on these actions can be found below:

LWR Subcatagories

To reduce the length and complexity of necessary blocks for simulations, an extensive standardization of operating conditions has been utilized within the NuclearMaterials. This standardization of simulation types is accessible via the required input parameter fission_operation. For LWR simulation, the following categories are defined.

not_interested

None

No fission occurs

settings_applications

Normal

Self-sustained nuclear chain reaction

trending_up

HighBurnup

High Percentage of Fuel Burnup

perm_device_information

RIA

Reactivity Initiated Accident

leak_remove

LOCA

Loss of Coolant Accident

BumpTest

Short-term re-irradiation at increased power levels

trending_down

HighInitial

High Initial Rating Test

vertical_align_top

PowerRamp

Ramp up of power output

These tutorials are intended as in introduction to these capabilities. If you have questions about these topics, or have different needs, contact the developers.
