IL SISTEMA DI CALCOLO MODULAREERANOS(EUROPEAN REACTOR ANALYSIS OPTIMIZED SYSTEM)
1. Lattice calculation with ECCO • Summary • Basic reactor modeling: • medium set creation • operating conditions • ECCO sentence and steps • basic set creation for core calculation • Advanced topics: • heterogeneous cells • ECCO routes • ECCO step options
Modeled Reactor • Na-cooled (U,Pu)O2 fast reactor1250 MW (thermal) / 500 MW (electric) • Fuel S/A geometric data: • •169-pin bundle ; pin pitch = 0.878 cm • •Hexagonal wrapper across-flats = 11.65 cm (inner) x 12.37 cm (outer) • •S/A pitch = 12.87 cm ; Fissile height= 100 cm • •Integrated axial blankets (same geometryas fissile) • •Lower/upper axial blanket height= 25/25 cm • •Numberof fuel S/Asis the core= 255 • Fertile S/A geometric data: • •61-pin bundle ; pin pitch = 1.445 cm • •Spacer wire diameter= 0.187 cm • •Hexagonal wrapper across-flats = 11.65 cm (inner) x 12.37 cm (outer) • •S/A pitch = 12.87 cm Fertile height= 150 cm
Module sequence • MEDIUM_CREATION to create materials, medium and cells: • •MEDIUM set (output) • •Cell description needs medium • •Medium description needs materials • A medium is a homogeneous collection of materials with volume fractions. • A cell is a collection of media with geometrical links with each other. • OPERATING_CONDITION to expand medium (optional): • MEDIUM set (input and output) • ECCO to perform lattice calculation: • MEDIUM set (input) • Ecco files (output) • BASIC_EDL_CREATION_FROM_ECCO_FILE to create edl: • MEDIUM set (input and output) • Ecco files (input) • MICRO and MACRO set (output)
