armi.physics.fuelCycle.utils module
Geometric agnostic routines that are useful for fuel cycle analysis on pin-type reactors.
- armi.physics.fuelCycle.utils.assemblyHasFuelPinPowers(a: Iterable[Block]) bool[source]
Determine if an assembly has pin powers.
These are necessary for determining rotation and may or may not be present on all assemblies.
- Parameters:
a (Assembly) – Assembly in question
- Returns:
If at least one fuel block in the assembly has pin powers.
- Return type:
- armi.physics.fuelCycle.utils.assemblyHasFuelPinBurnup(a: Iterable[Block]) bool[source]
Determine if an assembly has pin burnups.
These are necessary for determining rotation and may or may not be present on all assemblies.
- Parameters:
a (Assembly) – Assembly in question
- Returns:
If a block with pin burnup was found.
- Return type:
Notes
Checks if any Component.p.pinPercentBu` is set and contains non-zero data on a fuel component in the block.
- armi.physics.fuelCycle.utils.maxBurnupLocator(children: Iterable[Component]) IndexLocation[source]
Find the location of the pin with highest burnup by looking at components.
- Parameters:
children (iterable[Component]) – Iterator over children with a spatial locator and
pinPercentBuparameter- Returns:
Location of the pin with the highest burnup.
- Return type:
IndexLocation
- Raises:
ValueError – If no children have burnup, or the burnup and locators differ.
