AI Thread Summary
Resources for coding PARET include several key papers and links, such as the IAEA document on thermal-hydraulic aspects and the MNSR transient analyses for HEU and LEU cores. The PARET code is primarily applicable to small research and test reactors, which often utilize natural convection cooling. Additional guidance can be sought from users at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) who have experience with the code. The code is also available through the OECD-NEA. Comprehensive understanding and application of PARET can enhance safety analyses in research reactor operations.

PARET seems to have limited application to small research and test reactors, most of which it seems are cooled by natural convection.

PARET-ANL(NESC): Code System to Predict Consequences of Nondestructive Accidents in Research and Test Reactor Cores

The code seems to be available from OECD-NEA

If one wishes some guidance, then perhaps one should contact those who use the code at ANL.

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...
