3. NATURE OF PHYSICAL PROBLEM SOLVED

SHREDI is a removal - diffusion neutron shielding code. The program computes neutron fluxes and activations in bidimensional sections (x,y or r,z) of the shield. It is also possible to consider shielding points with the same y or z coordinate (monodimensional problems).

[ top ]

4. METHOD OF SOLUTION

The integrals which define the removal fluxes are computed in some shield points by means of a particular algorithm based on the Simpson's and trapezoidal rules. For the diffusion calculation the finite difference method is used. The removal sources are interpolated in all diffusion points by Chebyshev polynomials.

5. RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM

Maxima

  number of removal energy groups NGR = 40
  number of diffusion energy groups NGD = 40
  number of the reactor core and shield materials NCMP = 50
  number of core mesh points in r (or x) direction for integral calculation = 75
  number of core mesh points in z (or y) direction for integral calculation = 75
  number of core mesh points in theta (or z) direction for integral calculation = 75
  number of shield mesh points for the neutron flux calculation in r (or x) direction NPX = 200
  number of shield mesh points for the neutron flux calculation in z (or y) direction NPY = 200
n.b. (NPX * NPY) le 12000.

6. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

The problem: 19 removal groups, 26 diffusion groups, removal fluxes calculated at 8 x 36 points using 41 x 3 x 7 core points, diffusion and neutron fluxes calculated at 23 x 161 shield points, 6 activation calculations carried out at the same shield points, takes a total time of 24 minutes, 7 seconds.

7. UNUSUAL FEATURES OF THE PROGRAM

The code executes calculations for sufficiently general bidimensional (or monodimensional) shields of reactors for which the removal - diffusion model is good. Shield parts may be excluded from the calculation.

8. RELATED AND AUXILIARY PROGRAMS: Nuclear data library is prepared by the program SABLIB.
