ExaSMR Benchmarks

This repository contains benchmarks for performance profiling of the OpenMC and Shift Monte Carlo codes for the ECP ExaSMR project. Each directory contains a Python script which uses the OpenMC Python API to create XML input files for OpenMC.

Model Descriptions

smr
A 3D Small Modular Reactor (SMR) model that roughly mimics the design of the NuScale reactor. The reactor core has 37 fuel assemblies that alternate between 3.1% enriched and 2.4% enriched UO2 fuel. The center fuel assembly has 1.6% enriched UO2 fuel. Where possible, we have attempted to use the same parameters for the fuel assemblies and fuel rods as those specified in the NuScale design submittal to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), for example: 264 fuel rods per assembly, 24 guide tubes per assembly, 1 instrument tube per assembly, five spacer grids per assembly, fuel rod pitch of 0.496 in, and an active fuel length of 200 cm. Many of the details of the actual NuScale fuel assembly design are redacted from the design submittal because they are export controlled/proprietary information. The purpose of our model is not to be an exact replica of the NuScale model; rather, it is intended to capture most of the physical complexities that are involved in modeling a full reactor core and to provide a suitable model for carrying out full core performance tests on the testbed architectures.

Dependencies

To generate models using the scripts in this package, you must use a recent version of OpenMC's Python API.
