3D BWR assembly transient example

From Serpent Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

Note: For transient simulations, the initial system needs to be as close to criticality as possible. The exact multiplication factor of the system may vary if different cross section libraries is used. In that case, adjust the boron content in the cool and moder materials to achieve criticality.
