Task 2 - Materials

Please allow 20 minutes for this task.

Expected outputs from this task are in the presentation.

In this task you will use OpenMC and the neutronics material maker to create a variety of neutronics-ready materials.

Learning Outcomes

  • Materials can be made in OpenMC using isotope and element fractions, and densities.
  • The neutronics material maker provides an easy way to make materials and account for isotopic enrichment, temperature and pressure effects.
  • Material density varies as a function of pressure, temperature, enrichment and mixture fraction.
  • Mixed materials can be created using in-built OpenMC features or the neutronics material maker.
