SCALE TRITON - Multidimensional Transport and Depletion Course

The TRITON sequence in SCALE combines deterministic and Monte Carlo capabilities into a multipurpose transport analysis tool. TRITON can be used to perform cross-section processing for a two-dimensional NEWT transport calculation. NEWT is an arbitrary-geometry, discrete ordinates transport solver that can be used for eigenvalue calculation, critical buckling searches, forward and adjoint flux solutions, cross-section weighting, collapse, and homogenization, and can be used to generate few-group constants for lattice physics calculations. Coupled with ORIGEN-S via TRITON, NEWT is most often used in 2-D depletion calculations. Such calculations can be used to calculate isotopic concentrations as a function of burnup, decay heat, neutron and gamma, source terms, radiotoxicity and dose estimates. Used in lattice physics calculations, TRITON can be used to perform transport branch calculations at each depletion step, and to save lattice physics cross sections and other physics parameters for use in subsequent analysis. NEWT's arbitrary-geometry capability lends it to a wide variety of lattice analyses, including but not limited to PWR, BWR with control blades, VVER, and CANDU and ACR-700 designs. Experienced KENO-VI users will find that NEWT geometry input is based on that of KENO-VI, and exchanging (2-D)
models between the two codes is trivial. However, for some inherently three-dimensional configurations, the 2-D solution of NEWT is inadequate; in such cases, the alternative is to use TRITON with KENO V.a or KENO-VI as the transport solver, to accommodate 3-D depletion.

This course will teach attendees how to use NEWT for transport calculations, and the use of TRITON for depletion calculations. The course will also instruct users on the use of KENO in place of NEWT for Monte Carlo-based depletion; however, attendees must be familiar with KENO input, as this is not covered within this course.
