Implementation, verification, and application of multicycle depletion perturbation theory

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6885456
Several application-oriented features of generalized depletion perturbation theory (DPT) are analyzed from the viewpoint of the reactor designer. The detailed theory is first reduced to some new terminology necessary for an adequate understanding of DPT. Using this terminology, the main features and computational accuracy of this new technique are illustrated through representative DPT calculations utilizing a CDS-type heterogeneous reactor model. Several examples are presented that indicate the potential of DPT methods as an alternate computational tool for certain types of reactor physics analyses.
