Description
A new code PREC2 was developed by modifying the PREC code to solve equilibrium OTTO cycle of the pebble bed reactor. The effective multiplication factor at the equilibrium cycle can be chosen as an input. The PREC2 code can analyze high-converter (or breeder) reactors, for which the calculations by the SOR-Newton method employed in the PREC code can not be converged. (author)
