Overview

In order to test and demonstrate the time dependent calculation capabilities of the Kraken framework in a reasonably realistic context, a time dependent simulation was conducted of the initial rise to power of a small modular reactor (SMR) core.

The modelled SMR is the same 37 assembly Er-UO2 core that has been previously used for the demonstration of the depletion capabilities of Kraken.
