SANDPIPER I (A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS PROGRAMME FOR LIQUID MODERATED UO$sub 2$ LATTICES)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4747889

BS>Methods of calculation for light water moderated reactors were reviewed in AEEW R64. Calculation schemes for lattice parameters were presented which depended on the use of a number of IBM 704 and Ferranti MERCURY Computer Programs. SANDPIPER I is a comprehensive MERCURY program designed to cover all the operations with a degree of accuracy adequate for survey calculations. The presented version is restricted to regular or near regular UO/sub 2/ pin type lattices moderated by H/sub 2/O, D/sub 2/O, or organic liquids; it is planned to allow for greater flexibility in later versions of the program. The program is written in Autocode and requires a 4 drum machine. (auth)
