Xenon poisoning

Open wgurecky opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

Description

The average neutron flux in the reactor may be estimated from the currently implemented point kenitics model. Use this flux to compute production and destrcution of Xe-135 and I-135. The cross sections and decay constants of these isotopes could be unrealistic to make the time-scales a little more classroom friendly.

Tasks

  • [ ] Add batemen equations for Xe and I-135 to ractor physics.
  • [ ] Add feedback of Xe-135 concentration to reactivity: increase neutron absorption as fn of Xe-135 concentration.
