I understand that the new Scale 5 will revise Origen ARP libraries. Please let me know which libraries will be available. In particular, will there be a library for the GE-13 9x9 BWR fuel type? In addition, will the new version of Origen ARP, that goes with Scale 5, be available as a stand alone package. If so, when?

I am a new user of ORIGEN-ARP. What is the difference in fuel design spec for the w17x17 OFA compared to W17x17. Table D1.A1.2 specifies a rod dimension of about 0.7844 cm (I've seen values like 0.81915cm in NUREG/CR-0200 and nothing is reported on w17x17. What information is currently used by the libraries for calculation of the inventories?
