ARRC: A random ray neutron transport code for nuclear reactor simulation

Journal Article Tramm, John R. ; Smith, Kord S. ; Forget, Benoit ; ... - Annals of Nuclear Energy (Oxford)

A massively parallel implementation of a recently developed technique for numerically integrating the transport equation, The Random Ray Method (TRRM) (Tramm et al., 2017), is applied to several large reactor benchmark problems. The implementation, which is part of a new development called The Advanced Random Ray Code (ARRC), is one of the first parallel implementations of TRRM. Our goal is to better understand the accuracy and performance characteristics of TRRM on massive scale problems, and to provide community software that facilitates further algorithmic development and potentially its application to a broader class of problems. Key features of ARRC include extrememore »« less

Software Requirements for a Point Kinetics Neutronics Code for Simulating TREAT Reactor Transients

Technical Report Kontogeorgakos, D. C. ; Connaway, H. M.

This document provides the software requirements for a computer code to perform point kinetics-based simulations of nuclear reactor transients. These requirements address all aspects of code development and use, including input and output parameters and structure, software capabilities, and supporting documentation. This software is intended to replace the existing point kinetics code TREKIN, which is currently used for the analysis of the Transient Reactor Test Facility (TREAT).

New approach to creation of geometrical module for nuclear reactor neutron transport computer simulation analysis

Conference Poveschenko, T. ; Poveschenko, O.

This paper presents the new approach to creation of geometrical module for nuclear reactor neutron transport computer simulation analysis so called the differential cross method. It is elaborated for detecting boards between physical zones. It is proposed to use GMSH open source mesh editor extended by some features: a special option and a special kind of mesh (cubic background mesh).This method is aimed into Monte Carlo Method as well as for deterministic neutron transport methods. Special attention is attended for reactor core composed of a set of material zones with complicate geometrical boundaries. The idea of this approach is described.more »« less
GNES-R: Global nuclear energy simulator for reactors task 1: High-fidelity neutron transport

Conference Clarno, K ; De Almeida, V ; D'Azevedo, E ; ...

A multi-laboratory, multi-university collaboration has formed to advance the state-of-the-art in high-fidelity, coupled-physics simulation of nuclear energy systems. We are embarking on the first-phase in the development of a new suite of simulation tools dedicated to the advancement of nuclear science and engineering technologies. We seek to develop and demonstrate a new generation of multi-physics simulation tools that will explore the scientific phenomena of tightly coupled physics parameters within nuclear systems, support the design and licensing of advanced nuclear reactors, and provide benchmark quality solutions for code validation. In this paper, we have presented the general scope of the collaborativemore »« less
