No BWR burnup chain for depletion analysis in BWR

Closed this issue · 1 comments

I am trying to do depletion analysis in a BWR assembly but I have noticed that there is no depletion chain for BWR spectrum for any data library.Is there any possibility of getting the depletion chain of BWR asap?
Thanks in advance

The only thing that the spectrum actually affects in the depletion chain is the capture branching ratio for a handful of reactions. A BWR will still have a thermal spectrum like a PWR so I wouldn't expect those branching ratios to be appreciably different.
