Ants

Ants is a reduced order neutronics solver module for the Kraken framework. Ants is a part of the two step calculation chain requiring homogenized group constants as input data.

Ants is currently capable of solving the three dimensional steady state multigroup neutron diffusion equation in rectangular, hexagonal or triangular prism geometries using either effective multiplication factor or boron concentration as an eigenvalue. The geometry input is always either rectangular or hexagonal. The three dimensional time-dependent multigroup neutron diffusion equation can be solved in rectangular and hexagonal geometries due to current development status of coupling with Cerberus. The same limitation apply to burnup calculations.
