FAKIR 5.0 - A PC code for residual decay heat power and activity calculation. (Fuel after heat keyboard instant result)

The knowledge of the residual activity and the decay heat power of irradiated fuel is needed in the different areas of the nuclear reactor industry (core physicist, nuclear plant operator, spent fuel conveyor, safety authorities). In order to supply reliable data, the FAKIR calculation code (PEPABAC Module) has been developed; it takes into account the contribution of the fission products, U 239 + Np 239 and actinides. FAKIR is easy to use and provides good results of U O2 and MOX fuel calculations. It has been adopted by COGEMA as the standard method of calculation for both transport and storage of all PWR fuel assemblies received. (from authors) 1 fig., 4 tabs., 3 refs
