title = "Automated three dimensional depletion capability for the Pennsylvania State University research reactor",
abstract = "This paper describes the new depletion calculation capability for the Pennsylvania State University research reactor (PSBR). The calculation scheme employs the general purpose Monte Carlo code MCNP4C coupled with the versatile nuclear depletion code ORIGEN2.2 via the recently developed interface code, TRIGSIM. The main functions of the TRIGSIM code are automatic generation of MCNP and ORIGEN inputs from one TRIGSIM input and interfacing the data exchange between the two codes. The PSBR core loading 1, core loading 2 and core loading 3 were modeled using TRIGSIM code. The excess reactivity results from the core calculations have shown reasonable agreement compared to the measured excess reactivity from the operational log book.",
