Online calculation of the decay heat of assemblies at the Fast Flux Test Facility

Creators

Description

The Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF) is utilized by the US Department of Energy and the international community as a fast reactor research tool. Its use includes, among other things, the irradiation testing of nuclear reactor fuels and materials required for the development of commercial liquid metal reactors. The decay heat rate of assemblies irradiated in the FFTF is an important parameter in establishing the transportation, examination, and storage of irradiated assemblies. The decay heat program which is maintained on a Cray super computer along with a Symphony speadsheet program running on a personal computer (PC) were created to accommodate this need. This unique synthesis provides a method of combing the capabilities of a mainframe computer with those of a PC
