Once-Through Benchmarks with CYCLUS, a Modular, Open-Source Fuel Cycle Simulator

摘要

The CYCLUS core has been shown to provide expected behavior of discrete material flows for simple reactor cases. CYCLUS additionally has the capability not only to model a variety of growth scenarios with varying fuel storage strategies, but also to emulate the reactor deployment algorithm of VISION, i.e. explicitly declaring reactor types to be built given a defined distribution, by adding an additional constraint in the decision making problem solved by the region in which the reactors exist.
