Description

1 - Description of problem or function: PWCOST is used to calculate nuclear reactor fuel cycle costs. Input for all components of the fuel cycle are time-dependent. Working capital charge rates may be specified separately for in-core and out-of-core time periods. 2 - Method of solution: Costs are calculated using a present-worth levelized approach. 3 - Restrictions on the complexity of the problem - Maxima of: 24 core regions, 100 segments, 2 fuel particle types, 100 reloads before equilibrium is established, 100 times for core reload
