Questions of LMFBR control system

AI Thread Summary
Designing a LMFBR control system involves integrating a comprehensive SCADA system that monitors key components like pumps, turbines, and motors to ensure energy balance. Critical sensors, including temperature, flow, position, and neutron detectors, are essential for maintaining operational safety. The system must include logic for scramming the reactor, allowing for rapid control rod insertion during emergency conditions. Overspeed conditions in turbomachinery trigger automatic trips to prevent damage. Effective monitoring and control are vital for the safe and efficient operation of the entire plant.

A whole plant has sensors connected to a SCADA system which monitors the state of the large components. The energy produced must be balanced with the energy output. Pumps, turbines and motors are monitored for speed. Turbomachinery is usually tripped if it goes overspeed.

There are temperature sensors, flow sensors, position sensors, and in the core, neutron detectors. There are conditions where the reactor may be scrammed, so there is some logic in the system to scram, or rapidly insert, the control rods into the core.
 

Thread 'MCNP6 BURN Card Issue: Zero Burnup for Material in Fuel Assembly'

Hello everyone, I am currently working on a burnup calculation for a fuel assembly with repeated geometric structures using MCNP6. I have defined two materials (Material 1 and Material 2) which are actually the same material but located in different positions. However, after running the calculation with the BURN card, I am encountering an issue where all burnup information（power fraction(Initial input is 1,but output file is 0), burnup, mass, etc.） for Material 2 is zero, while Material 1...
