The Stochastic Implicit Euler (SIE) burnup scheme is an alternative burnup scheme that can be used if the traditional predictor-corrector burnup schemes in Serpent exhibit unstable behavior.

Background

The theoretical background of the SIE scheme is described in [1]

Implementation

Usage

Noteworthy things

  • No neutron transport solution is actually calculated using the final concentrations for a certain point.
