Burnup calculation problem

User Support

Hi,
I want to calculate up to a burnup of 20 MWd/kgHM. 50steps of 0.2MWd/kgHM & 10steps of 1.0MWd/kgHM. How can i do this successive depletion calculation? Will one integration after another do?

Thanks

Thank you julius.

openmc.deplete.SICELIIntegrator works well.

Please,disregard my previous comment.I suggest you do it this way

Depletion by burnup

Yeah thanks again. I was also facing problem cz it was a array not successive burnup. so i tried spending more time on openmc documentation. Thank u.

It sounds like you’ve already figured it out, but for posterity, the easiest way to do this would be:

timesteps = 50*[0.2] + 10*[1.0]
integrator = Integrator(operator, timesteps=timesteps, timestep_units='MWd/kg')

where Integrator is really one of the various integrator classes. As you’ve noted, the values are not cumulative.
