set title "Serpent GC generation example"

% - 17x17 PWR fuel assembly, adopted with some modifications from the
%   MIT BEAVRS Benchmark: http://crpg.mit.edu/pub/beavrs
% - Single fuel type, no burnable absorber
% - Pin lattice modeled applying universe symmetry (45 degree sector)
%   --> number of unique pin positions reduced to 39
% - Automated division into depletion zones, each pin handled separately,
%   material volumes provided using the mvol card
% - Single assembly with reflective boundary conditions --> homogeneous
%   diffusion flux solver will not be run
% - B1 leakage correction run (WIMS 172-group structure)
% - Branches to : - low and high boron concentration
%                 - low and high coolant temperature (and density)
%                 - low and high fuel temperature (and density)
%                 - control rod insertion
% - Adjustment of boron concentrations using the repm variation
% - Adjustment of temperatures using the stp variation
% - Thermal expansion of fuel pins using the repu variation (pin and assembly
%   pitch not expanded)
% - Control rod insertion using the repu variation
% - All branch combinations included (3x3x3x2 = 54 combinations in matrix)

% NOTE: The values of temperature-adjusted densities and dimensions are
%       for demonstration only, may not reflect actual physics.
