Empirical plutonium constants 7090 program
The current-revision of the Process Optimization Program contains two empirical plutonium-exposure expressions. One relates total Pu conversion to exposure and the other, Pu-240 buildup to exposure. The former was incorporated to save computer time and the latter to provide product quality data. Both of these relationships, in addition to a third which relates Pu-241 buildup to exposure, are used in PULP-3, the data generator for LP-90. EMCON-3, a 7090 computer program which determines arbitrary constants for all three empirical expressions, has been devised. It uses, as input, official conversion data and will facilitate rapid evaluation of the effect, of periodic revisions in official conversion data, changes in reactor loadings, and/or changes in product specification. This document contains a discussion of the empirical expressions, the program mechanics, and program input/output. A Fortran listing of the program logic a deck assembly diagram, and sample program output are included in the appendix to aid the reader in using and/or revising the program.
