This page is the beginning of a hands-on tutorial in Serpent that will walk you through the creation of simple pin-cell and assembly geometry models and the use of those models for some reactor physics simulations.

Pre-requisite

Compiled version of Serpent 2.

This tutorial assumes that you can run Serpent 2 simply by typing sss2 in your terminal, i.e. you either have the executable in your PATH or have created an alias for the executable. If this is not the case, you'll need to replace the sss2 run-commands with the full path to your executable.

Cross section libraries.

This tutorial assumes that you have defined a default cross section directory file for Serpent using the SERPENT_ACELIB environment variable (see the notes of set acelib). If this is not the case, you'll need to give the path to a cross section directory file in the input using set acelib.

Basics of Serpent input

Explain different (typical) parts such as:

  • Material definitions
  • Geometry definitions
  • Run parameters/options

Infinite homogeneous model

Overview

The first model in this tutorial is the simplest geometry model one can imagine: an infinite homogeneous system consisting of a single material. Here the infinite material is 4.0 wt-% enriched uranium with a density of 10.1 g/cm3.

We will use the infinite homogeneous system example for three tasks:

  1. Finding the critical enrichment of an infinite uranium system.
  2. Tallying the neutron energy spectrum in the critical infinite uranium system.
  3. Testing the effect of added neutron moderation on the multiplication factor and energy spectrum of the system.

Input

The input of the model is shown below and consists of only five definitions:

  1. Defining the single material, which is called fuel in this example.
  2. Defining the geometry by
    1. Defining an "infinite" surface, i.e. a surface enclosing all of space. The surface name is s1 in this example.
    2. Defining two geometry cells: One containing the material fuel and the other being defined as an outside cell.
  3. Setting up any other run parameters, here simply setting the neutron population that is to be simulated.

Colors in the input correspond to:

  • Comments: These are ignored by Serpent.
  • Control words: A constantly updating list of control words can be found in the Input syntax manual. Everything between two control words that is not a comment is treated as a parameter to the first control word.
  • Name definitions: Name definitions for the various Serpent objects can contain characters and numbers and are used for referencing certain objects in other definitions.
  • Name references: References to named objects defined in the input. Name references can be made even if the name definition has not been made yet as long as the name will be defined later in the input.

Running the input

Copy and paste the input to a file named infinite on your computer.

Simply run the input from terminal, by being in the same directory as the input-file and executing 

sss2 infinite

An example of the expected output is given below, although you should note that the statistical nature of the Monte Carlo methods means that you will not get exactly same values for the k-effective:

Transport cycle completed in 56.3 seconds.

The output of a simple Serpent simulation can be divided to the pre-processing part and the neutron transport part. The pre-processing part consists of reading the input-files and processing the material, geometry and cross section data, whereas the neutron transport part consists of first executing the inactive cycles, followed by the execution of the active cycles.

The results are only collected during the active cycles. The inactive cycles are used to allow the fission source to converge from the initial guess to its fundamental mode before the collection of the results is begun. If too few inactive cycles are used, the collected results do not represent the fundamental mode and will be incorrect. One of the traditional methods for estimating the required number of inactive cycles is to monitor the Shannon entropy of the fission source as a function of the cycle number (see set his).

Running the input will also produce multiple output files, the full description of which can be found here. The main output file infinite_res.m contains many result variables calculated from the simulation and can be executed with MATLAB or OCTAVE to automatically bring the variables in as workspace variables.

Finding the critical uranium enrichment

For the next part of the tutorial you can try to find out the critical enrichment for the fuel material. Let's look at the fuel material definition a bit closer: 

% --- Fuel material (4.0 wt-% enriched uranium dioxide), density 10.1 g/cm3

mat fuel     -10.1
92235.03c    -0.04 
92238.03c    -0.96

The first line of the material definition contains the command word mat which tells Serpent that a material definition will follow. The name of the material is set to fuel and the density of the material is set to -10.1, where the negative number tells Serpent that it should be interpreted as mass density (a positive number would indicate atomic density). The unit of mass density (see the list of units) used in Serpent is g/cm3. The initial material definition line is followed by the material composition: 

92235.03c    -0.04 
92238.03c    -0.96

Here the value on the left is the nuclide id (which must correspond to an entry in the cross section directory file) and the value on the right is its mass fraction (negative number) or atomic fraction (positive number) in the composition. The nuclide ids consist of three parts: 

92235.03c    -0.04 
92238.03c    -0.96
  1. The first one or two numbers are the atomic number of the nuclide.
  2. The following three numbers give the mass number of the nuclide.
  3. The last three characters after a period/dot give the library identifier of the nuclide. The library identifier typically represents the temperature of the nuclide (and in some cases the cross section library).

In our case, the atomic number of both nuclides in the composition is 92 indicating that the nuclides are uranium. The mass numbers of the two nuclides are 235 and 238 further identifying the nuclides as 235U and 238U. The library identifier 03c indicates that those variants of the 235U and 238U cross section libraries that are in the temperature of 300 K should be used.

The mass fractions given in the material definition mean that the material consists of 0.04 parts (in mass) of 235U and 0.96 parts (in mass) of 238U. This equals an enrichment of 4.0 wt.-%.

By changing the mass fractions given for the two nuclides, you can try to find a material composition that results in a multiplication factor of approximately 1.0. The statistical estimate for the multiplication factor along with its 2-sigma confidence interval is printed out by Serpent during the simulation:

------------------------------------------------------------

Here, k-eff (analog) and k-eff (implicit) are two separate statistical estimators for the multiplication factor of the system that can be used to estimate the criticality of the system. As the system is currently subcritical (k-eff is smaller than 1.0), it would be a good idea to increase the 235U content slightly and re-run the calculation.

By tuning the material composition, you should be able to obtain a more or less critical system.

Calculating the flux energy spectrum

In order to calculate the flux energy spectrum in the critical system we will define a detector in the input. Detectors are described in Section 7 of the Serpent manual and can be used to calculate neutron or photon flux, reaction rate, energy spectrum, heat deposition etc. at various parts of the geometry. The short syntax for detector input can be found in the input syntax manual.

Here we will set up a simple detector 

% --- Detector for tallying the flux energy spectrum
%     The energy grid used for tallying will be defined later

det EnergyDetector de MyEnergyGrid

The detector has the name EnergyDetector and the additional option de tells Serpent that we want to use an energy grid with the name MyEnergyGrid to tally the energy spectrum of the neutron flux.

We'll still need to define the energy grid: 

% --- Define the energy grid to be used with the detector
%     Grid type 3 (bins have uniform lethargy width)
%     500 bins between 1e-11 MeV and 2e1 MeV.

ene MyEnergyGrid 3 500 1e-11 2e1

The energy grid has 500 bins between the energies of 1e-11 MeV and 2e1 MeV. Since the energy grid type is set to 3, Serpent will automatically divide the energy interval into the requested number of bins equally wide in lethargy.

With the detector and energy grid definitions added to the input file, you can re-run the calculation to obtain the detector output file infinite_det0.m. The structure of the detector output file is described in Section 7.2 of the Serpent manual.

We will use the OCTAVE script below to plot the flux-spectrum
