And this material has proven useful for testing. The data contained in this file should not be used in production simulations.

class armi.materials.uThZr.UThZr

Bases: FuelMaterial

U-235 enriched uranium with Thorium 232 - Zirc fuel.

This gives the combined fuel cycle of U-235, U-238, U-233, Pu-239 etc.

enrichedNuclide = 'U235'

Name of enriched nuclide to be interpreted by enrichment modification methods

zrFracDefault = 0.09999

applyInputParams(U235_wt_frac=None, ZR_wt_frac=None, *args, **kwargs)

setDefaultMassFracs()

U-ZR mass fractions.

pseudoDensity(Tk=None, Tc=None)

Calculate the mass density in g/cc of U-Zr alloy with various percents.
