When your test capsule is the test: ORNL’s 3D-printed rabbit
Oak Ridge National Laboratory has, for the first time, designed, printed, and irradiated a specimen capsule—or rabbit capsule—for use in its High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR), the Department of Energy announced on January 15.

The numerical results that have been obtained for various reactor characteristics using the generalized quasi-static approximation for the study of fast reactor transients are analyzed. This approximation leads to a set of coupled nonlinear mixed boundary initial value problems for “amplitude” and “shape” neutron fluxes that are solved with a Newton-successive over-relaxation algorithm. Some details are given on the time integration module. Comparisons are established with the results obtained by other codes.
