Automatic rapid process for the generation of problem-dependent SAS2H/ORIGEN-S cross-section libraries
- 1. Oak Ridge National Lab., TN (United States). Computational Physics and Engineering Div.
Description
A methodology is described that serves as an alternative to the SAS2H path of the SCALE system to generate cross sections for point-depletion calculations with the ORIGEN-S code. Automatic Rapid Processing (ARP) is an algorithm that allows the generation of cross-section libraries suitable to the ORIGEN-S code by interpolation over pregenerated SAS2H libraries. The interpolations are carried out on the following variables: burnup, enrichment, and water density. The adequacy of the methodology is evaluated by comparing measured and computed spent-fuel isotopic compositions for pressurized water reactor and boiling water reactor systems
