armi.reactor.blueprints.tests.test_materialModifications module

Tests for material modifications.

class armi.reactor.blueprints.tests.test_materialModifications.TestMaterialModifications(methodName='runTest')

Bases: TestCase

Create an instance of the class that will use the named test method when executed. Raises a ValueError if the instance does not have a method with the specified name.

test_invalidMatModName()

This test shows proves that we can detect invalid material modification names when they are specified on an assembly blueprint. We happen to know that ZR_wt_frac is a valid modification for the UZr material class, so we use that in the first call to prove that things initially work fine.

test_matModsUpTheMRO()

Make sure that valid/invalid material modifications are searched up the MRO for a material class.
