CPM-2

CPM-2 is a multi-group two-dimensional lattice physics computer code designed for the analysis of the light water reactor fuel assembly designs. It is also very efficient tool for the analysis of individual fuel rods.

CPM-2 employs multigroup transport theory to calculate detailed neutron distributions and eigenvalues for two-dimensional geometries representative of boiling water reactor (BWR) and pressurized water reactor (PWR) assemblies. It employs a special predictor-corrector methodology for calculating the burnup of fuel isotopics. CPM-2 calculates several parameters which are subsequently used in other codes for global reactor analysis. These data include eigenvalues, few-group cross-sections, power distributions, kinetics parameters and isotopics.

CPM-2 is a significantly enhanced version of the EPRI-CPM computer code. It contains special methodologies and extended capabilities which facilitate application of the code in the production- oriented environment of an electric utility. CPM-2 features simple input requirements and a file management systems which greatly reduce the effort required to use the code.
