title = "Origami: A new interface for fuel assembly characterization with origen",
abstract = "The new ORIGAMI interface to the well-established ORIGEN code for nuclear fuel depletion affords new capabilities useful for modeling the depletion of used nuclear fuel assemblies. Starting from a user-defined mesh composed of axial and/or radial burnup gradients, ORIGAMI calculates assembly characteristics through a series of point depletion calls to the ORIGEN sequence across the mesh, thereby effectively allowing a rapid 3-D assembly depletion calculation. Additionally, ORIGAMI provides a number of useful features for post-depletion analysis of used fuel assemblies, including visualization of selected nuclides and automated generation of materials inputs for further analysis in commonly-used formats like MCNP and KENO. The design of ORIGAMI is such to allow greatly simplified, high-fidelity analysis of the isotopie, thermal, and radiological characteristics of used nuclear fuel assemblies.",
