Detailed Description

BlanketReprocessing allows Fuel reprocessing in Core and in Blanket during Evolution.

Warning: NOTHING IS DONE FOR CONTINUOUS REPROCESSING.

Remarks: This class is very similar to FuelReprocessing class. Please read its documentation before.

This class is an example of how to used inheritance of FuelReprocessing class ; it is used to reprocess reactor blanket. Only one blanket can be retreated. As in FuelReprocessing, the removed blanket is put in its Interim Storage (I.S.) (in fact, 1 I.S. per blanket refuelling time) for a Cooling period. Then, the content of the Interim storage is sent to either a Waste Storage, to (at least a part) to a Fissile/Fertile storage (which is not used but evolves) and to Minor Actinide Blanket Storage (MARS) that will be recyled. If MA Core storages exist, they will be used as soon as possible, togather with MA Blanket Storage to form the new fresh blanket fuel (and completing with fresh blanket fuel). The extra separation of MA versus Fissile/Fertile is done via FuelReprocessing::SetFissileFertile() method

Only after a Refabrication period (BlanketReprocessing::SetBlanketFuelFabricationTime()) the MA Blanket storage may be used (recycling).

Remarks

Using MureGui, if a long term evolution is done, you may have some memory problems due to large number of storages. To special falg of MureGui can be used to avoid such problem "-skipstorage" which read all in flux cells and the Waste Storage but skip other storage, and a "-start XXX" flag that allows to read [B]DATA_xxx files only from the run number XXX.

◆ SetBlanketCell()

void BlanketReprocessing::SetBlanketCell	(	Cell *	blanket,
		double	CoolingTime
	)

Define the Blanket Cell.

The depleted fuel of the blanket will be extracted to a Blanket I.S. after a Cooling period.

Parameters

blanket	: The cell that will be discharged of old fuel.
CoolingTime	: The cooling time before retreating or discharging the Interim Storage.

◆ SetBlanketFreshFuel()

void BlanketReprocessing::SetBlanketFreshFuel	(	Material *	BlanketFreshFuel,
		Material *	EquiliBriumMat = `nullptr`,
		double	EquilibriumTime = `- 1`
	)

Set Blanket Fresh Fuel.

If EquiliBriumMat and EquilibriumTime are not defined, the blanket is filled at each reprocessing time with BlanketFreshFuel material.
If EquiliBriumMat and EquilibriumTime are defined, then the blanket cell is filled with BlanketFreshFuel material until reprocessing time > EquilibriumTime ; then, the EquiliBriumMat material is used as fresh fuel.

Parameters

BlanketFreshFuel	: The fresh fuel to add.
EquiliBriumMat	: The fresh fuel to add if T>=EquilibriumTime.
EquilibriumTime	: The time from which EquiliBriumMat will be used.

◆ SetBlanketFuelFabricationTime()

void BlanketReprocessing::SetBlanketFuelFabricationTime ( double Time = 2 * 365.25 * 24 * 3600 )

inline

Set the blanket fuel fabrication time.

The fuel fabrication time is the time to wait before doing something with a Processed Storage. Depleted fuel goes to Interim Storage for a Cooling Time, then it is extract to either Waste Storage, and/or to a Reprocessed Storage ; then one waits a fabrication time before reusing this "new" fuel

Parameters

Time	: refabrication time in second [default= 2years].

◆ SetBlanketFuelForm()

void BlanketReprocessing::SetBlanketFuelForm	(	int	Z,
		int	A,
		double	MolarProp
	)

Set the chemical form of the blanket fuel.

When using Reprocessed Storage for refuelling the blanket, one has to know the "chemical" form of the fuel: indeed, if one reprocess MA for example from the depleted fuel, the new fuel made from that must be of the same form than the initial one. If fuel is oxide such as AmO2/NpO2, for each mole of Am, one has to add 2 (the MolarProp param) mol of O (Z=8, A=16).

REM: For metallic fuel, this method has not to be used.

Parameters

Z	: Z of the annex chemical element (Z of O for UO2 fuel).
A	: A of the annex chemical element (A of O for UO2 fuel).
MolarProp	: Molar proportion of the annex chemical element (2 for UO2 fuel).

◆ SetBlanketRefuellingTime()

void BlanketReprocessing::SetBlanketRefuellingTime ( vector< double > Time )

inline

Blanket Refuelling Time.

Set the time vector at which the blanket refuelling is done. In fact, the real refuelling time Tr will be done just before a MCNP step (at t=T_MCNP[j]); thus the ith refuelling is done at Tr=T_MCNP[j], if T_MCNP[j-1]<fRefuellingTime[i]<=T_MCNP[j] ; defining this refuelling time as a multiple of T_MCNP will assure that Tr is exactly one of the given value of the Time vector parameter.

Parameters

Time	: vector of reprocessing time.

◆ SetExtractionFractionFromBlkRP()

void BlanketReprocessing::SetExtractionFractionFromBlkRP	(	int	N,
		int *	Zarray,
		double *	Efficiency
	)

Set the Depleted Fuel extraction fraction from blanket RP.

Depleted Fuel Blanket is (entierely) put in the Blanket I.S. ; after a cooling period, this Blk I.S. is put into the Waste Storage, the Blanket Minor Actinides Storage (MARS), and the Fissile/Fertile Storage. This method allows to defined which elements (and which proportion of them) go to MA and Fis/Fert storage, others are sent to Waste storage. The MARS is used to refill the blanket (after a blanket fuel refabrication time, see the BlanketReprocessing::SetBlanketFuelFabricationTime() method). For example:

 int Z[5]={92, 93, 94, 95, 96}; // Z of U, Np, Pu, Am and Cm
// efficiency for U, Np, Pu, Am and Cm
 double Efficiency[5]={0.001, 0.01, 0.001, 0.01, 0.01};
 MyBlkReprocessing->SetExtractionFractionFromBlkRP(5, Z, Efficiency);

will put 1% of MA and 1 per mille of U/Pu and all other elements in Waste Storage ; the remaining part of U, Pu and MA are sent to MA storage and Fissile/Fertile Storage, according to the FuelReprocessing::SetFissileFertile() method.

Remarks: If Zarray has only one dimension and Zarray[0]=0, then the constant value Efficiency[0] is used for all nuclei.

Parameters

N	: size of the 2 following arrays.
Zarray	: Array of Z to defined extraction efficiency for this Z isotope.
Efficiency	: Array of Efficiency for the extraction (1=100%).
