NEAR

NEAR (Non-Equilibrium Archetypes of Reactors): Houses cyclus archetypes for non-equilibrium reactors with core-loading and enrichment variability.

Note

Cite this work as (pending)...

Installing

Each of the archetypes in this repository can be installed using install.sh. For the script to work, you must install Cycamore from source, as the install script essentially copies the source files over to your Cycamore directory and installs them from there.

Then, from the top-level of this repository, run

bash install.sh

Then you will be prompted to give the relative path from NEAR to Cycamore, and asked which archetype you wish to install.

You can find installation instructions for Cyclus, Cycamore, and Cymetric online at https://fuelcycle.org/user/install.html.

./Baseline/

Contains a single deployment of a traditional Cycamore reactor archetype along with the corresponding analysis notebook and output file.

./CLOVER/ (in progress)

Houses the Core LOading Versatile non-Equilibrium Reactor (CLOVER, pronounced clover), a generic Cyclus archetype that has the capability to update the loading pattern of a reactor core.

./DPR/

Houses the Dynamic Power Reactor (DPR, pronounced dipper) archetype. DPR is based on the Cyclus v.1.6 Cycamore reactor archetype, but it can adjust the power output of the reactor over time.

./EVER/

Houses the Enrichment Versatile non-Equilibrium Reactor (EVER, pronounced ever), a generic Cyclus archetype that has the capability to update the recipe of fuel in a reactor.

./TOD/

Houses the Trading On-Demand (TOD, pronounced Tod) Reactor archetype. TOD is based on the Cyclus v.1.6 Cycamore reactor archetype, but it skips the Tick and Tock parts of a time step if it is not ready to accept more fuel.
