Different temperature for each burnup step

User Support

Hi all, is there a way to assign different fuel and moderator temperature for each burnup step?
I am trying to calculate FTC (Fuel temperature coefficient), MTC(Moderator temperature coefficient) for each burnup step.

Short answer: no. But you could calculate the coefficients by

  1. Running your depletion simulation at nominal conditions
  2. Using ResultsList.export_to_materials to get a Materials instance for a given burnup step
  3. Modify fuel and moderator temperatures for the desired materials
  4. Export your modified materials to a new materials.xml file and re-run a plain transport simulation

Thank you very much for your suggestion.

I am not comfortable with that. If you have questions please post them in this forum
