Bundle Specific Decay Heat Power Calculations by Chaos-w Code

Abstract

CHAOS-W version 2.0 is a standard Windows code developed to calculate bundle specific decay heat powers of CANDU reactors by applying the ORIGEN-S code, the ANSI/ANS-5.1-2005 decay heat power standard and other applicable formulas or methods. The code first traces the irradiation history of any fuel bundles in any channels from a series of RFSP-IST input and output data files, and then composes complete operating power history of each individual bundle. CHAOS-W provides users with a powerful and multi-functional platform to perform data management, decay heat power calculations and data processing.
