- •
A fuel behavior interface is implemented for the Serpent 2 Monte Carlo code.
- •
The interface enables Serpent to easily exchange information with fuel performance codes.
- •
Accompanying coupled calculation and solution relaxation routines are also implemented.
- •
The coupled calculation routines can be used with any of the existing multi-physics interface formats.
- •
The new capabilities are showcased with a coupled simulation of a 3D BWR assembly.
