CRUMB-2-A ONE POINT, FOUR GROUP REACTOR BURNUP CODE FOR THE IBM-7070. Study of Slightly-Enriched Uranium-Water Lattices with High Conversion Ratio
CRUMB-2 is an IBM-7070 computer code designed to provide an inexpensive means of investigating the nuclear characteristics of uniform mixtures of fuel, water, and structural materials throughout burnup life. The computations are done in a four energy group scheme which utilizes an in-program library of fast microscopic constants. The output provides a large amount of data applicable to parameter studies of burnup characteristics. (auth) -
LIFETIME CHARACTERISTICS AND ECONOMICS AND ECONOMICS OF SLIGHTLY ENRICHED URANIUM DIOXIDE IN WATER LATTICES. Final Report on STUDY OF SLIGHTLY-ENRICHED URANIUM-WATER LATTICES WITH HIGH CONVERSION RATIO
The fairly general use of C. H. Westcott's scheme for obtaining one- group effective cross sections especially for calculating long-term reactivity changes for low enriched uranium-fueled reactors motivated a comparison with another commonly used method, namely, MUFT and SOFOCATE. The apparentiy better agreement with plutonium critical experiments that Westcott's method yields is traced to his better Pu/sub 239/ thermal cross sections. The limitations of his method for drier and hence more epithermal spectrum cores is analyzed. Suggestions for improving the SOFOCATE, and in particular the CANDLE cross sections, are made. Thc practicai effect of West cott's method in predicting increasedmore » -
Radionuclide inventories : ORIGEN2.2 isotopic depletion calculation for high burnup low-enriched uranium and weapons-grade mixed-oxide pressurized-water reactor fuel assemblies.
The Oak Ridge National Laboratory computer code, ORIGEN2.2 (CCC-371, 2002), was used to obtain the elemental composition of irradiated low-enriched uranium (LEU)/mixed-oxide (MOX) pressurized-water reactor fuel assemblies. Described in this report are the input parameters for the ORIGEN2.2 calculations. The rationale for performing the ORIGEN2.2 calculation was to generate inventories to be used to populate MELCOR radionuclide classes. Therefore the ORIGEN2.2 output was subsequently manipulated. The procedures performed in this data reduction process are also described herein. A listing of the ORIGEN2.2 input deck for two-cycle MOX is provided in the appendix. The final output from this data reduction processmore »
