armi.materials.uThZr module

Uranium Thorium Zirconium alloy metal

class armi.materials.uThZr.UThZr

Bases: armi.materials.material.Material

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.

name = 'UThZr'

enrichedNuclide = 'U235'

Name of enriched nuclide to be interpreted by enrichment modification methods

applyInputParams(U235_wt_frac=None, ZR_wt_frac=None, TH_wt_frac=None)

Apply material-specific material input parameters.

setDefaultMassFracs()

U-ZR mass fractions

density(Tk=None, Tc=None)

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