FRAP Plug-ins (FAST, FRAPCON and FRAPTRAN)
Fuel Analysis under Steady-state and Transients (FAST) a Fortran-based computer code that calculates the steady-state and transient response of light-water reactor fuel rods during long-term in-reactor burnup, up to and including dry storage conditions. The code calculates the temperature, pressure, and deformation of a fuel rod as functions of time-dependent fuel rod power and coolant boundary conditions.
The FRAPCON code calculates the steady-state response of light water reactor fuel rods during long-term burnup. The code calculates the temperature, pressure, and deformation of a fuel rod as functions of time-dependent fuel rod power and coolant boundary conditions. FRAPCON is designed to generate initial conditions for transient fuel rod analysis by the FRAPTRAN computer code
The FRAP installation package for SNAP includes both the FAST and FRAPTRAN plug-ins. The legacy FRAPCON plug-in has been superceded by the FAST plug-in. The FAST plug-in will open legacy FRAPCON models and can be used to run FRAPCON.
Change Log
Version 3.4.2 - Released 10/6/2020:
- Several small docstring errors were corrected in the FAST code support module for Python directed streams.
