Check cases with real Li-6 concentration ~5% #24

Closed andrewryh closed 5 years ago

andrewryh commented 6 years ago

This issue could be closed when whole-core neutronic calculations with Li-6 weight fraction from 0.0005% to 5% will be finished

andrewryh commented 6 years ago

K-eff drops to 0.2 if Li-6 mass fraction is 5%. Dead end

katyhuff commented 6 years ago

The question was ideally to investigate the range 0.0005% - 5%. This way one could find the limits of feasibility. (and identify an economic optimum enrichment)

Ok, I'll make this curve: K-inf vs Li-6 fraction
