Hello all,
I was trying to use the reduce method. i can see the reduction in number of nucides if i print nuclide_dict. when i try to export the reduced chain to xml i get an error.
I thought i might be doing something wrong in reduction so i tried to copy depletion chain from xml file and try to export it to a new file. I get the same error again.
The code i am using is shown here.
chain_file = ‘./chain_casl_pwr.xml’
chain = openmc.deplete.Chain.from_xml(chain_file)
#reduction=chain.reduce([‘U235’,‘U238’,‘O16’],1)
new_chain=openmc.deplete.Chain()
new_chain = chain
new_chain.export_to_xml(‘chain_casl_pwr_1’)
print (new_chain)
the error i am seeing is
Traceback (most recent call last):
