SCALE MSRE model

[Kaspar Hewitt Klenø]

Hi

I'm looking at the MSRE model here:

MSRE/benchmark_fresh_core · master · SCALE / Analysis / 2022 SCALE Non-LWR Models for NRC Volume 3 · GitLab

Which is documented here: Modeling of the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment with SCALE

Now in the paper, it says: 

"Furthermore, the indices were calculated between thecomplete benchmark MSRE model and the followingsimplified MSRE models:

1. Unit cell 1 represents one graphite stringer ele-ment (Fig. 7).

2. Unit cell 2 is like unit cell 1 but with additionalfuel surrounding the graphite stringer element to correctlyrepresent the full-core moderator-to-fuel ratio (Fig. 8).

3. Simplified MSRE core 1 represents only the sec-tion with the straight graphite lattice (excluding the taperedtop region and the lower lattices), without control rods orthe sample basket (Fig. 9).

4. Simplified MSRE core 2 is like simplified core 1but without the surrounding insulation, thermal shield, orshells (Fig. 10).

"

Where do I find the SCALE inputs for those 4 simplified models? In the git repository, there's only 1 input named simple, and is a full core model.

Best Regards

Aren't they in the directory before?

The models flow_loop, full_core_375days, and slice?

I don't think so?

None of those models look like a unit cell to me.

Well, I believe I had recreated them myself using slice as a starting point. It's been a while and I thought they were there initially.
