Action Items from the Last meeting

Alex

  • Validated CRAM solver from Libowski against methodology taken from OpenMC source code that performs the method ``manually"
  • Tests:
    • Xenon-iodine decay chain with no fission production
    • Xenon-iodine decay chain with fission production
    • Primative set-up of xenon (l) concentration in an MSR core with migration to graphite included
      • This one ended up being wrong but I did do it and Libowski and manual CRAM agreed, so
  • Split time on Czech reactor project and began creation of generalized SERPENT -> OpenMC converted
    • This was a mistake and putting the cart before the horse, but efforts not necessarily wasted

Plans for This Week

  • Take a step back
  • Create diagram of the gas-bearing regions (GBRs) in an MSR and how gases can move between then
  • Read some papers by Price that should cover some of these concepts more and do lit review on them
    • I read his (very long) thesis a while ago, but it seems that I forgot to take notes...
  • Instead of making general SERPENT converted (because that (sort of) already exists), try to make an infinite lattice of the 8-plate core in OpenMC and run that
