.. _bright_light_water_reactor1g: *************************** Light Water Reactor1G Class *************************** This class provides a model of a one energy group Light Water Reactor (LWR) that may be used out of the box. Additionally, this portion of the code also provides a function that returns a copy of default LWR parameters. Lastly, this document displays a benchmark of this LWR model to other published LWR cases. All functionality may be found in the ``light_water_reactor1g`` module:: import bright.light_water_reactor1g .. currentmodule:: bright.light_water_reactor1g ========================= LightWaterReactor1G Class ========================= .. autoclass:: LightWaterReactor1G(libe=None, rp=None, n="") :members: .. attribute:: track_params Light water reactors have a type specific set of data that they follow from pass-to-pass. Thus this attribute has be modified to contain following parameters: ``["BUd", "U", "TRU", "ACT", "LAN", "FP"]``. ============================= Light Water Reactor Benchmark ============================= The following data presents the results of benchmarking this reactor model to two separate cases. The first is to an NEA case and the second is to a VISION case. These benchmarks first calibrate the non-leakage probability to the target discharge burnup and then compare isotopics. Then the benchmarks use a static 0.98 value for the non-leakage probability and then compare isotopics. In doing so, this gives a relative measure on how much error is induced buy simply using a nominal value for :attr:`Reactor1G.P_NL`. If you require more information on these benchmarks please email the author. ------------- NEA Benchmark ------------- In 1994, the Nuclear Energy Agency put out an light water reactor study entitled "*BURNUP CREDIT CRITICALITY BENCHMARK*", report number NEA/NSC/DOC(93)22.
