Abstract

A new nuclide depletion capability has been implemented into Shift. It features multiple transport-depletion coupling methods and multiple depletion substepping schemes, and utilizes the underlying multilevel parallel decomposition supported by the Shift radiation transport capability. In this paper we provide an overview of this new capability and demonstrate it on two reactor depletion problems. We compare the results obtained by Shift against those obtained by VESTA and Serpent.
