armi.materials.californium module

Californium is a synthetic element made in nuclear reactors.

It is interesting in that it has a large spontaneous fission decay mode that produces lots of neutrons. It’s often used as a neutron source.

The data in this file exists for testing and demonstration purposes only. Developers of ARMI applications can refer to this file for a fully worked example of an ARMI material. And this material has proven useful for testing. The data contained in this file should not be used in production simulations.
