armi.physics.fuelCycle package

The fuel cycle package analyzes the various elements of nuclear fuel cycles from mining to disposal.

Fuel cycle code can include things like:

• In- and ex-core fuel management

• Fuel chemistry

• Fuel processing

• Fuel fabrication

• Fuel mass flow scenarios

• And so on

There is one included fuel cycle plugin: The Fuel Handler.

The fuel handler plugin moves fuel around in a reactor.

class armi.physics.fuelCycle.FuelHandlerPlugin

Bases: ArmiPlugin

The build-in ARMI fuel management plugin.

static exposeInterfaces(cs)

Implementation of the exposeInterfaces plugin hookspec.

Notes

The interface may import user input modules to customize the actual fuel management.

static defineSettings()

Define settings for the plugin.

static defineSettingsValidators(inspector)

Implementation of settings inspections for fuel cycle settings.
