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
