A Sample Problem for the VPI Modules
"Initially the VPI modules were developed for IBM and CDC machines," in winter of 1980
during the course of lectures on operational physics of Power Reactors at Triste, Italy, Dr. B.
Carmignani told the audience. These codes were developed at Nuclear Engineering Department
at Virgina Polytechnic Inistitute and State University, US,L1, under the guidence of Dr. Milton
C. Edlund. These codes were brought by Dr. M.R. Haroon at CI\JS and Subhan Gul was asked
to prepare a talk on ustility of these codes. Codes were made functional at CNS in 1983.
As we all know, code users have to spend most of their time figuring out accurate
format for various inputs. All the syntex errors occur due to wrong formats used in input data
files. Also, the VAX Computer system or any large computer has CPU time distribution as
a function of users. If codes are being borrowed from same source directory, then code use
has many flaws. To circumvent all these difficulties, We at CNS have ported these codes to
Personnal Computers after minor changes. And every module has now a input data generator:
a program that will ask question and prepare a data file from answers. Codes now require
very little effort on data input. Both the interactive and non-interactive data generators are
available. These generators have been developed at CNS using FORTRAN-n. For each VPI
Module a particular generator will generate a data file for variable input data which will be
compatible with the code. You can now patch a graphic routine of your choice to see the
output directly. We have labelled these codes as CNS Version of VPI modules. These sections
aim at answering how to use these (CNS version) modules.
To illustrate the use of the VPI modules this report describes the application of these
(CI\JS Version) codes for generation of group constants, group fluxes, flux distribution, reaction
rates and the integral parameters such as K-effective of a typical Pressurized Water Reactor
(PWR). As a sample problem we have choosen the Turkey Point Reactor operating at Florida,
USA. The schematics of the pressure vessel are shown in Fig. 1. The main design parameters
of this reactor are presented in Table 1.
The reactor core is a three-region cycled core consisting of 158 fuel assemblies shown
Fig. 2 with 42 Rod Cluster Control (RCC) assemblies. The fuel assemblies are divided into
three concentric regions having approximately equal volume with 2.28, 2.43 and 2.73 weight
percent (w/o) enrichment in the center, intermediate and outer regions, respectively. Reflector
and thermal shield are around these regions. These are shown in Fig. 2. The fuel rods are
cold worked Zircaloy tubes containing uranium dioxide fuel. The fuel assembly (Fig. 3) is of
the can-less type with the basic assembly consisting of RCC guid thimbles welded to the grids
and the top and bottom nozzles. The active fuel length of the core is 289.56 cm (114 in) and
the equivalent diameter of the core is 303.53 em (119 in)
lil
The core elements have been assumed at following conditions: control rods withdrawn,
cold, clean, without boron. Also an equivalent fuel cell which differs slightly from the actual
eel! has been used in these calculations. A comparison of these cells is shown in Fig. 4.
Page (2)
There are 225 such cells but only 204 are actual fuel cells. The rest of 21 fuel cells have been
assumed to be water holes although they contain RCC and in-core instruments in 20 and one
cell respectively.
In order to simplify these calculation we have distributed the water of 21 holes uniformly
in all the 204 fuel cells and effect of structural materials has been ignored. Similar calcu
lations were done for reflector and thermal shield zones of the core. These codes consider
homogeneous regional group constants.
All these codes are contained in a compressed file labelled as VPI.EXE. Copy this file from
the given floppy diskette to the main 'c-directory' of your computer. Type VPI, and the press
the return key. It will explode itself into various files after generating a sub-directory, VPI. It
will contain REP.EXE, REPGEN.EXE, REP.DAT and RAP.RES FILES for REP code. For FAR
CON Code, there are FARCON.EXE, FARGEN.EXE, FARCON.DAT, and FARCON.RES files.
Check that directory has DISFAC.EXE, DISGEN.EXE, DISFAC.DAT and DISFAC.RES files
for code DISFAC. Also, you will have SLOWCOI\J.EXE, SLOGEN.EXE, SLOWCON.DAT, and
SLOWCON.RES files for code SLOWCON. The code ODMUG is composed of ODMUG.EXE,
ODGEN.EXE, ODMUG.DAT and ODMUG.RES files. Moreover, the REP and FARCON have
fixed data files REP.L1B and FARCON.L1B respectively. Users need not change these fixed
data files.

Resonances Escape Probability Calculations Us

ing REP Code
The REP code at present can only be used for a single problem at a time. Such declaration is
made through input card by letting J\JCAS (number of cases) put equal to one. In this code
the resonance escape probilities are calculated considering the actual cell (Shown in Fig. 4).
There is no resonance calculations for the reflectors and thermal shield zones of PWR. These
values are equal to one.
The code uses a fixed input data constituted by 54 cards or lines that contain the
resonance parameters for U-238. There are then seven cards containing weighting factors and
polynomial roots necessary for the Gauss-Hermite and Gauss-laguerre quadratures used to
evaluate the 'l/J(e,!3) and J(e,!3) functions respectively. This fixed data is stored in REP.L1B
file. The values in this data file are shown in Annexe-I.
Now check the sub-directory, VPI, for REPGEN.EXE, REP.EXE and REP.L1B files. The
REP.L1B contains fixed data values and we have declared it as a library attached to the REP
code. We will not change the name and data of this file (so it is fixed).
To run this code on IBM-compatible PCs (286 and/or higher machines), first we have
to prepare a input data which can be changed according to our needs. Such data file is called
variable data file (I usually call it REP. OAT). To generate this data file we have written an
interactive programme REPGEN and its executable file REPGEN.EXE is with you. To run this
programme type: REPGEN and then press the ENTER key. The programme will ask questions
and you have to type appropriate values in free format on screen. The code requires REP.L1B
as a fixed data file. Check the directory for this file. The REPGEN will read the data you
typed as an answer to the question and store in the data file. At the end it will tell you that
you have supplied all the input required for the programme; your data is stored in the file so
and so. Then it will stop. You can edit or type the data file as per desire.
Then type, REP.EXE to run the REP code and press the ENTER or RETURN key on
keypad. A massege will appear on screen:'PlEASE ENTER THE FiXED 1f\IPUT DATA FILE
NAME:'. Write the name REP.L1B. Then press the RETURN key and it will ask: 'ENTER
TH E VARIABLE DATA FilE NAM E: '. Type the name of file you just created with REPGEN
say REP. OAT (if your data is in file REP OAT). Then another massege will appear on the
screen:'PlEASE ENTER THE OUTPUT FILE NAME'. You are supposed to write the name
of file in which you want to store the output. I usually write REP.RES (RES for result files).
Then press the ENTER key and in a few seconds you wili get a prompt that programme has
successfully completed itself. You can see the result by typing the REP. RES file.
You can change the REP. OAT file directly or run the REPGEN for new data values for
other regions of the core. Remember you can change the variable data file but never attempt
changes in the REP.L1B type file. All file having end names as LIB are fix-data files.

Fast Group constants Generation Code (FAR

CON)
This code is available on Pc. The FARCOI\J (CI\JS Version) uses a library of cross section data
for 14 isotopes. It is read as a fixed input data only once at the beginning of the program run.
The fixed and variable data is shown in Annexe-I. Procedure to run this code is similar to the
method explained for REP code. First check the sub-directory, VPI, for the FARCON.EXE
and FARCON.DAT, FARCON.L1B and FARGEN.EXE. The variable input data preparation can
be done by using FARGEN.EXE. Run this data generator. It will ask you, where to store the
data. Tell the code that you want data file by name of FARCON.DAT. Then the code will ask
about data values. Enter them as per question. It will allow you to modify the card after all
values in one card have been entered. At the end, it will tell you where it has stored the data
and what to do next.
Yay can run FARCON code by typing FARCON. It will ask the same type of question
as the REP code does ask. ENTER the appopriate answer. It will rquire fixed data library
FARCON.L1B and variable data file FARCON.DAT. It will output the results and write them
in file of your choice (I usually label the output file FARCOI\J.RES).
Disadavantage Factor Generation Code (DIS

FAC)
The disadva ntage factors for various regions of the Pressu rized Water Reactor ca n be calculated
using this code. It is necessary to input macroscopic cross sections for Two regions of the cell.
i.e. fuel and cladding/moderator regions. For this test run the cross sections were obtained
from the BN L-235. The sample input data for Turkey Point Reactor is given in Annexe-I.
ThIS code is available on Pc. The DiSFAC (CI\JS Version) is made up of DISFAC.EXE
and DISGEN.EXE. The sample data is stored as DISFAC.DAT and sample test results are in
DISFAC.RES. It is read input data at the beginning of the program run. The variable data
is shown in Annexe-1. Procedure to run this code is similar to the method explained for REP
code. First check the sub-directory, VPI, for *.EXE files.
The variable input data preparation can be done by using DISGEN.EXE. Run this data
generator. It 'Nill ask you, where to store the data. Tell the code that you want data file by
name of DISFAC.DAT. Then the code will ask about data values. Enter them as per question.
It will allow you to modify the card after all values in one card have been entered. At the end,
it will tell you where it has stored the data and what to do next.
The executable file for the code DISFAC is DISFAC.EXE and sample test result is stored
In
Page (6)
DISFAC.RES file.
Slowing Down and Thermal Group Constant

Generation Code (SLOWCON)
The PC based CNS-Version of SLOWCON is composed of SLOWCON.FOR, SLOWCOI\J.EXE

and SLOWCON.DAT files. This code uses only variable data that the user provides to it. The
cross section library has been made as a part of the code and is arranged in subrountines. As
it can be seen from the input data shown in Annexe-I, the atomic densities in FARCON and
SLOWCON are different. It depends on the fact that the atomic densities for the SLOWCON
were obtained from the atomic densities used in FARCON multiplied by the disadvantage
factors obtained from the DISFAC code. The procedure adopted in the modification of number
densities was following. The moderator isotope densities were multiplied by the disadvantage
factor and the cladding densities were multiplied by the disadvantage factor and a ratio of
Rfue1 /
Reel!.
First check the sub-directory, VPI, for the SLOWCOI\J.EXE and SLOWCON.DAT, and
SLOGEN.EXE. These files form basis for PC-based SLOWCON code. It uses an input data at
the beginning of the program run. The sample variable data for Turkey Point Reactor is shown
in Annexe-I. Procedure to run this code is similar to the method explained for REP code.
The variable input data preparation can be done by using SLOGEN.EXE. Run this data
generator. It will ask you, where to store the data. Tell the code that you want data file by
name of SLOWCON.DAT. Then the code will ask about data values. Enter them. The code
SLOGEN will allow you to modify the card after all values in one card have been entered.
Also, the data can be prepared for many regions (inner, middle, outer etc.,). At the end, it
will tell the name of input data file prepared by the code.
One Dimensional Diffusion Theory based Calcu

lations (ODl\1UG)
This code uses the multigroup diffusion theory to calculate the multiplication factor for com
plete reactor system. it also provides the fission reaction rate, fluxes and region-wise group
fluxes. This code needs boundry conditions i.e. left and right flux and current conditions and
geometry being used. The group constants for fast, epithermal group generated by FARCON
and thermal constants by SLOWCON form the input for this code.
The PC based CNS-Version of ODMUG is composed of ODMUG.FOR, ODMUG.EXE
Page (7)
and ODMUG.DAT files. Procedure to run this code on PCs is similar to the method explained
for REP code.
The user has to input diffusion coefficients, absorption cross sections, removal cross
sections, poison cross section and the values of neutrons released per fission in various energy
groups for different regions of the reactor. These are generally the result of FARCON and
SLOWCON. Also transverse buckling, power levels and core dimensions are needed for this
code to run. The schematics of the reactor regions is shown in Fig. 5. If one wishes to perform
a poison search then desired value of Kejf and convergence criterion for the poison search will
also be needed. The input data for typical problem is given in Annexe-1. The sample input
specifications for the fuel cell are given in Table 2. For three different zones of enrichment the
number densities are calculated separately. These values are illustrated in Table 3, 4 and 5.
The ODMUG is available on Pc. The ODMUG (CNS Version) read an input data only
once at the beginning of the program run. The variable data for Turkey Point Reactor is
shown in Annexe-I. Procedure to run this code is similar to the method explained for REP and
FARCON codes. First check the sub-directory, VPI, for the ODMUG.EXE and ODMUG.DAT
and ODGEI\J.EXE. The variable input data preparation can be done by using ODGEN.EXE.
Run this data generator. It will ask you, where to store the data. Tell the code that you want
data file by name of ODMUG.DAT. Then the code will ask about data values. Enter them
as per question. )t will allow you to modify the card after all values in one card have been
entered. At the end, it will tell you where it has stored the data.
