Abstract
The resulting program yields results which compare favorably with longer-running, harder-to-use spectrum calculations, yet it requires no user intervention during the entire course of the depletion analysis.; A rapidly-converging fission iteration has been incorporated into the basic energy- and space-dependent flux calculation, which is then coupled to sophisticated cross section and depletion modules.; An efficient, accurate, simple-to-use computational tool has been developed for the space dependent depletion analysis of fast reactor core-blanket-reflector systems, based on the separable kernel form of continuous slowing down theory, and adapted to include the effects of multiplying media.;
