Open Fuel Cycle Benchmark (OFCB)

This is a repository for the specification of the different test of the open fuel cycle benchmark. It contains the specification file in different formats for the different test.

Background

In support of a community of scholars who are developing software to simulate the nuclear fuel cycle, this set of problems is a community generated list of scenarios that is intended to progress from simple problems to verify fundamental behavior through more complex problems to be used to validate overall system evolution.

Repository layout and use

• the main repository will hold only canonical problem definitions [1] and supporting information in an OFCB directory,
• each participating fuel cycle tool project should:
  • fork this repository,
  • create a directory for their code,
  • place all code-specific input in that directory in a layout that aligns with the OFCB layout,
  • include a tool to convert json format file to their own tool input format, abd vice-versa.
