HATCHET--A COUPLED NEUTRONICS-HYDRODYNAMICS CODE TO CALCULATE BURST CHARACTERISTICS OF A PULSED REACTOR FOR IBM 704
The HATCHET code which computes specific energy, temperature, pressure, density, and velocity variations as a function of time and space for a super- prompt critical concentric shell pulsed reactor is presented. It computes reactivity as a function of inverse reactor period, power, the total and idnetic energies, and the position of the shells which comprise the system. Delayed neutron effects are ignored, and no allowance is made for heat transfer. The code is limited to a maximum of three neutron energy groups and six materials. A technical discussion of the code together with basic assumptions and equations is included. A flow diagram, sample problem, and operating instructions are included. A tape dump and recall routine and a FORTRAN listing of the program are appended. (B.O.G.)
