ZIP-2--A ONE-DIMENSIONAL FEW-GROUP SYNTHESIS NUCLEAR REACTOR DEPLETION PROGRAM FOR THE PHILCO-2000 COMPUTER

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4818501
ZlP is a diffusion theory synthesis depletion program for reactor design calculations. The synthesis technique is a method of forming a solution to the three-dimensional, few-group diffusion theory equations, by stacking'' a number of different solutions to the two-dimensional (x,y) equations. The stacking'' is performed by deriving fluxweighted averaged quantities (diffusion constants, niacroscopic cross-sections, and leakages) from the (x,y) solutions, for input to the ZIP program, which solves the one-dimensional (z) equations.
