Bluecrab: Comprehensive Reactor Analysis Bundle

BlueCRAB is a combination of existing codes created in close collaboration with the U.S. NRC useful for various reactor safety analysis simulations. For the purpose of classification it should be noted that BlueCRAB (the bundle) can be split up in several ways. At the heart of the software is "wrapping" and "coupling" code for brining in several non-INL projects from the NRC and Argonne National Laboratory (SAM). These codes facilitate the building and linking of these various codes during compilation and assist with data movement during execution. BlueCRAB can optionally link in several other applications including the following: BISON: fuels performance Griffin: Reactor Physics Pronghorn: CFD IAPS95: EOS for water, helium, nitrogen TRACE: NRC Code for 2 phase flow (system analysis) FAST: NRC Code for fuels performance SAM: ANL Code for single phase system analysis
