Short overview of Kraken
This presentation describes gives an overview of Kraken, the related solvers, current applications, future plans and distribution:

Pre- and post-processing capabilities for Serpent
This part of the workshop looks at some utilities found in the KrakenTools Python package that may be of use to Serpent users:

Files used for the presentation:
Using Serpent via Cerberus
Here we run some Serpent simulations with the Python based multi-physics driver Cerberus: PHYSOR_2024_Kraken_Cerberus.pdf
Files used in the examples of the presentation:
- As a first example, the functionality of the Minimal Serpent Coupling Script is replicated using Cerberus: PHYSOR_2024_MSCS_with_Cerberus.tgz
- As a second example, the material compositions in a Serpent model are updated during runtime PHYSOR_iterate_235U_content.tgz
- As a third example, a "control rod" iteration, by iterating the value of a transformation to achieve a critical system PHYSOR_2024_iterate_control_rod.tgz
SMR simulations with Kraken
In this section of the workshop we will apply Kraken to the modelling of the LDR-50 reactor concept, or to be precise the public benchmark model LDR lite: Introduction_to_LDR_50.pdf
Group constant generation is not covered in the workshop due to limited time, but an overview of the process is available here: Serpent_Ants_GCs.pdf with Serpent input files for group constant calculation in PHYSOR_2024_LDR_lite_GC_inputs.tgz.
The presentation (SMR_modelling_with_Kraken.pdf) covers static neutronics calculations (evaluating power distribution, keff, control rod worths), fuel cycle simulations and basics of fuel shuffling and transient calculations.
Files used in the tutorial:
