The Thermal hydrAulic COre Calculations using single heAted channel meThod (TACOCAT) code is being developed to be used as a thermal hydraulics code for advanced reactor development. The intent is for TACOCAT to be an open sourced tool with generality of reactor type in mind.

Add new structural materials for cladding for molten salt reactors, sodium fast reactors, and high temperature gas reactors #60

Open lcarasik opened 1 year ago

We currently only have HT9 steel hard coded into TACOCAT for structural/cladding materials. We need to add more solids into TACOCAT and turn the current backbone into a dictionary to enable a user to switch the materials.

I would start working on implementing cladding materials such as Zircaloy-2, Zircaloy-4, Kanthal APMT, graphite, and stainless steel.

Add the cladding materials information based off the structure of how we tackled the fuel_props.py file.

This issue will be addressed after issue #62 has been completed to create the interface for different structural materials.
