Automation of safety parameters of the IEA-R1 reactor

This study aims the development of a computational program that manages the execution of various programs of calculation methodology of the safety parameters of IEA-R1 reactor, making the process more practical and safe. Making, therefore, the treatment of data of input and output of each programs, an automatic process. This work transformed a series of existing programs in a sub-routine of a principal program, that is, a program that calls each program automatically as it is necessary, and also created some other programs to manipulate data to be used by others and so make the process practical and safe. Among the used programs can be mentioned some of the main as HAMMER-TECHNION responsible by calculating the macroscopic cross sections, TWODB for the calculation of the reactor core and burn of the fuel elements and CITATlON responsible by core calculating in three dimensions. The result obtained proved to be totally compatible with that found in Manual calculation methodology performed by the team responsible for the IEA-R1.4 reactor
