Electronic manual of the nuclear characteristics analysis code-set for FBR

not registered

Reactor Physics Gr., System Engineering Technology Division, O-arai Engineering Center has consolidated the nuclear design database to improve analytical methods and prediction accuracy for large fast breeder cores such as demonstration or commercial FBRs from the previous research. The up-to-date information about usage of the nuclear characteristics analysis code-set was compiled as a part of the improvement of basic design data base for FBR core. The outlines of the electronic manual are as follows: (1)The electronic manual includes explanations of following codes: (JOINT : Code Interface Program) (SLAROM, CASUP : Effective Cross Section Calculation Code) (CITAT10N-FBR : Diffusion Analysis Code) (PERKY : Perturbative Diffusion Analysis Code) (SNPERT, SNPERT-3D : Perturbative Transport Analysis Code) (SAGEP, SAGEP-3D : Sensitivity Coefficient Calculation Code) (NSHEX : Transport Analysis Code using Nodal Method) (ABLE : Cross Section Adjustment Calculation Code) (ACCEPT : Predicting Accuracy Evaluation Code) (2)The electronic manual is described using HTML file format and PDF file for easy maintenance, updating and for easy referring through JNC Intranet. User can refer manual pages by usual Web browser software without any special setup. (3)Many of manual pages include link-tags to jump to related pages. String search is available in both HTML and PDF documents. (4)User can download source code, sample input data and shell script files to carry out each analysis from download page of each code (JNC inside only). (5)Usage of the electronic manual and maintenance/updating process are described in this report and it makes possible to enroll new code or new information in the electronic manual. Since the information has been taken into account about modifications and error fixings, added to each code after the last consolidation in 1994, the electronic manual would cover most recent status of the nuclear characteristics analysis code-set.
