FLARE; three-dimensional reactivity and power distribution. [GE635; IBM360; CDC7600; FORTRAN IV]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6489057
FLARE is an inexpensive calculational method to determine core reactivity and core power distribution. A scoping calculation of this type is valuable in appraising the physics characteristics of planned test modes of operation so that detailed analysis can be reserved for those core calculations of greater interest from either a technician or safety standpoint.GE635;IBM360;CDC7600; FORTRAN IV; GECOS (GE635), OS/360 (IBM360), and SCOPE (CDC7600); 39K and 3 tapes in addition to the system units are used on the GE635, 400K and 5 tapes or disks are required on the IBM360. 80,000 (octal) words of small core memory and 12,000 (octal) words of large core memory are needed for the CDC7600 version.
