SSBAPAC (Steady-State Burn Analysis PACage) is a computer code that evaluates the steady-state plasma performance (in terms of macroscopic quantities such as ignition requirements and specific fusion power density) for D-based fuel cycles, using a O-D Hot-Ion-Mode model. Included in the analysis is a calculation of the steady-state superthermal distribution functions with options for the inclusion of NES and/or fusion-in-flight of the fusion products and NES recoils. The integrated quantities (such as slowing down power on the ions) from the steady-state distributions are used in the HIM analysis to find the maximum allowable ratio of ion to electron temperature allowable for ignition (T/sub i//T/sub e/), and the associated plasma parameters such as ignition requirements (n/sub e/tau/sub e//sub ig/), and fusion power. There is also an option for including modifications to the ion-electron equilibration power due to magnetic field effects.
