SMR model request

User Support
1

Hello everyone,
I would like to adopt OpenMC to run some neutronic calculations on a Small Modular Reactor (SMR) model.
At this page Example Jupyter Notebooks · openmc-dev/openmc Wiki · GitHub I found some existing models of other reactors’ designs (PWR, TRIGA …).
Is there something similar also for the SMR?

Thank you!
Lorenzo

Hi @lorenzoloi ;

If you are interested, I have a basic Nuscale SMR model with some tallies and plotting outputs. I supervised a Master project to study such reactor with OpenMC, it could be something to start with.

best regards

Hello @bentridisalah,

Thank you for the reply, I would be interested in the model.
Can i contact you through email?

Thank you very much
Lorenzo

Hi @lorenzoloi. Take a look at this repository, which has a model of an SMR roughly based on the NuScale reactor:

Hi @lorenzoloi;

Sorry to answer so late about your request, because I was out for few days.

Here my email: bentridisalah@gmail.com and I will share with you two notebook files about a basic model of NuScale SMR (Tallies and depletion). Besides that, you can also check the repository mentionned by @paulromano (thank you Paul by the way for this sharing) it is more rich and complete

have a nice day

hi @bentridisalah can you please share with me this example

Hi @mariemm

Please find here two notebooks about the NuScale SMR model (small one).

hi @paulromano, can I extract from this example the input for one pin-cell or control rod or anything I want alone ??

hi can you give me the name of the Nuscale model used in this code please

Hello;

Well it is just a NuScale model (small one) taken from the report attached here.

Hi @paulromano, is this the most recent benchmark for NuScale?

Thanks in advance!
