Storage Class

The storage class very simply solves the Bateman decay equations on an input mass stream. For a more complete treatment please see Stacey’s Nuclear Reactor Physics. Currently, the storage component uses a recursive method to calculate the decay chains and resultant masses.

To use this class the necessary decay information must be available. This is stored in a decay.h5 database that must be present within the BRIGHT_DATA directory. Instantiation of this class automatically calls the initialize() method on the C++ level, which loads the decay.h5 library.

All functionality may be found in the storage module:

import bright.storage
