Razorback is a research reactor transient analysis computer code designed to simulate the operation of a research reactor (such as Sandia National Laboratories Annular Core Research Reactor (ACRR)). The code provides a coupled numerical solution of the point reactor kinetics equations, the energy conservation equation for fuel element heat transfer, the equation of motion for fuel element thermal expansion, and the mass, momentum, and energy conservation equations for the water cooling of the fuel elements. This input manual describes how an input file is composed, and facilitates an understanding of the various code input parameters. The makeup of the various code output files is also described. This manual also provides instructions for the installation and setup of the code, and how to report bugs and/or errors.
