Hi all! I have been running the depletion calculation example available on github with the goal of evaluating gaseous radionuclide buildup in fuel pellets (with burnup of 50 GWd/MTHM). I modified the example to use the ENDF/B-VII.1 Chain (PWR Spectrum) data. Interestingly, while some isotopes such …

Thanks for posting I think this other post might be useful to help answer the question [image] Very low value for amount of H3 atoms transmuted User Support Hi all. I’m trying to find the activation of a blanket configuration. But first I’m just trying to run a depletion/…

Thank you Shimwell for you attention! It appears that the post you mentioned focuses on (n,t) reactions, whereas I’m actually curious about ternary fission reactions. Upon further investigation, I managed to find this worksheet example by Paul Romano on plotting fission product yields from chain fil…

Nice find. Yes you are right the other post is on the (n,t) reaction and the quick fix for that was to add a line to the xml chain file. I suspect the quick solution for this issue would also be to add a line to the chain file to ensure this tritium production from n,f reactions is accounted for. Lo…
