armi.materials.be9 module¶

Beryllium is a lightweight metal with lots of interesting nuclear use-cases.

It has a nice (n,2n) reaction and is an inhalation hazard.

class armi.materials.be9.Be9[source]¶

Bases: armi.materials.material.Material

Beryllium.

name = 'Be-9'¶

thermalScatteringLaws = (<armi.nucDirectory.thermalScattering.ThermalScattering object>,)¶: A tuple of ThermalScattering instances with information about thermal scattering.

setDefaultMassFracs()[source]¶: mass fractions

linearExpansionPercent(Tk=None, Tc=None)[source]¶: Finds the linear expansion coefficient of Be9. given T in C returns m/m-K Based on http://www-ferp.ucsd.edu/LIB/PROPS/PANOS/be.html which is in turn based on Fusion Engineering and Design . FEDEEE 5(2), 141-234 (1987)

paramCollectionType¶: alias of armi.reactor.parameters.parameterCollections.MaterialParameterCollection
