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.
