How to convert the time step of OpenMC 2D depletion calculation from day/second to burn-up depth (MWth/TU)

Hi all,

Can anybody tell me how to convert the time step of OpenMC 2D depletion calculation from day/second to burn-up depth (MWth/TU)?

Best,
Yahui Wang

Burnup depth(MWh/tU) = Power density(MW/tU) * Time(h)
You can get the time step by dividing the burnup depth step by the power density.

Note that in OpenMC v0.12, depletion integrator classes now allow a user to specify timesteps in several units (s, min, h, d, MWd/kg). You just need to convert MWh/tU to MWd/kg.
