Action Items from the Last Meeting

Jorge

• built Initial Materials and Geometry Section for Cupon irradiation

added two other types of steel and added them to the universe

• applied to two kairos power opportunities for the summer
• got a tacc account and has joined MIT DT git lab.
• wrote the settings and tallies sections of the steel coupons

applied the only the steels that would be irradiated to the settings by updating the materials a bit using the openmc.coupledoperator and .deplete.predictorintegrator function but i am running into issues with my chain.xml file probably has to do with the functions I am using to try to add the time to the depletion file

• this is what the code looks like:

time_steps = [1.0, 5.0, 10.0] op = openmc.deplete.CoupledOperator(model,"chain.xml") integrator = openmc.deplete.PredictorIntegrator(op, time_steps, timestep_units="d") integrator.integrate()

Braden

• Finished and Submitted ANS Summary Draft (Thanks for the edits)
• Consolidated Elemental Mapping Code and Published it on GitHub (See link in Proposal)
• Draft of Proposal for Dr. Bessman ready for review: Proposal for Dr. Bessman
  • Note: I put it on the GitHub for record keeping, but I would be happy to move it to a word doc if you feel that is better.
• Heard Back form Terrapower, I plan to formally accept the offer. Before I do I want to formalize an agreement on how I will continue my studies. I have discussed three passable options with Dr. Clarno. April 14th Start Date.

Plans for This week

Jorge

• Additional Materials and geometry
• fixed source irradiation tallies and settings
• keep getting issue with chain.xml where the code is unable to run with the openmc.integral function in order to add a time variable
• plz help :(

Braden

• Contact Dr. Bessman and Markus Piro (Suggested by Dr. Clarno)
• Annotated Bibliography for Oral Presentation, Formatted in Overleaf Journal Style Paper
