Revision as of 13:28, 29 November 2017

Note: FINIX currently does not include models for many burnup related changes in the fuel rods. The fuel behavior solution will be for fresh fuel at all burnups.

Example of coupled burnup calculations using FINIX. The depletion scheme used is explicit Euler's method with stochastic approximation based relaxation applied to the transmutation cross sections and one-group fluxes used for the depletion solution.

The input model is based on the Peach Bottom 2 BWR assembly from the UAM benchmark [1] with the segmented absorber rod replaced by a full length one. For simplicity the Serpent input has been divided into multiple files using the include card.

Main Serpent input

% --- Asymmetric BWR assembly with Gd-pins -------------------

set title "Peach Bottom 2 from UAM, FINIX calculation"

% --- Remember to set TMS limits for materials

include materials

include pins

include geometry

include volumes

% --- Reflective boundary condition in XY, black in Z:

set bc 2 2 1

% --- Link FINIX input files

set finrodfile      "./finixfiles/rod_library.txt"

% --- Neutron population and criticality cycles:
% --- This is simulated on each iteration 
% !!! This small number does not lead to proper statistics 

set pop 5000 50 100

% --- This is the number of iterations for each neutronics solution

set ccmaxiter 2

% --- Use a smaller number of inactive cycles on subsequent neutron transport solutions
% --- (Fission source passing on, number of alternative cycles is 50)

set fsp 1 50

% --- Depletion scheme (constant extrapolation, i.e., Explicit euler)

set pcc ce

% --- Depletion history (just two steps)

dep daystep 5 5

% --- Use a lower optimization mode to save memory
%     Calculations that use the TMS on-the-fly Doppler treatment
%     do not use grid thinning, which increases memory consumption

set opti 1
