1 . rir i ei' outline o' usual methods

In a thermal reactor calculation, great attention

must be paid to the determination, in each region, o' the
thermal crosssections averaged over one or more groups.
The regions may be either homogeneous or nonhomogeneous,
so that their average macroscopic cross section for the
thermal group considered is expressed, neglecting angular
dependence, by :

\ / Nj(x) (,) O J ( E ) dE

1.1) = i
I dx (,) dE

where the sum is extended over all the elements present in

the mixture, and the integrations: have to be performed respecti
vely over the region and the thermal energy range considered.
The problem arises now o' finding the neutron flux
(,) for energies below about 1 ev. What is generally done
in normal reactor calculations is to treat each region as the
unit cell of an infinite lattice. Eventually one may take into
account, in an approximate way, a leakage term, introducing an
extra absorption.
If the region considered can be treated as homogeneous
(as, generally, the reflector or the homogeneous cores), the
.finding., y,/,,\ .
problem is reduced to~~-^^zrie neutron spectrum {&) in an
infinite homogeneous medium.
In a heterogeneous core region, the presence of
fuel elements makes the problem rather difficult to solve
correctly. The case of unii'ormely distributed rods (open
lattice) can be properly treated with the THERMOS [1]transport
code, which provides the (,) for moderators of any kind
(once the scattering kernel is known).
But when such calculations must be repeated many
times, as for parametric studies or "life" calculations, this
program would take the computer too long a time.
 6

A method commonly used in order to homogenize the

core, is the following [2] [3] k] ' & space distribution
is calculated (for instance using trunsport, or Monte Carlo
codes, or with the method of Arnouyal and Benoist) in one or
more thermal groups, using crosssection averaged on a
roughly approximated spectrum, e.g. a hardened Raxwcllian
distribution. From this (or these) space distribution we get
the ratios between the average flux in the fuel ^ and in the
1
moderator
T , fox each bgrouo considered, that is the self
m' '
shielding factors.
Then in order to homogenize the cell, the con
centrations of the different isotopes present are weighted
on the volumes ana inserted as input concentrations, together
with the group selfshielding factors, in a program which
computes the thermal spectra in homogeneous media.
The program itself will multiply the macroscopic
crosssections of each fuel element () by the corresponding
selfshielding factors.
The problem has now been reauced to finding the
spectrum F ( E ) in an infinite homogeneous medium.
Mai'v codes for the determination of F(B) already
exist, but each of them is suitably used in particular problems.
It is well known that SOFCATE [5] and TEMPEST [6] codes
compute the neutron spectrum in the monoatomic gas scheme
for muderators having mass A = 1 (SOFCATE) or either A=1
or ASs1 (TEMPEST). So that only water or very heavy moderators
can be treated in a satisfactory way.
THESIS [7] is a code which considers only monoatomic
gas moderators, of whatever mass, that is with good approximation
H 2 0 or heavy moderators, and in rough approximation organic
moderators and D20 (assuming or D nuclei to have a fictitious
mass which takes into account molecular effects). It is to be
noted that the three codes mentioned above give average cross
section only for one thermal group.
A more flexible and uptodate program for homogeneous
media is the multigroup GATHER [] code, since it can deal
with moderators of any kind, provided that scattering kernels
are available for the needed elements and temperatures on
magnetic tapes.
 - 7 ~

In addition it can give normal and adjoint

fluxes using the B 0 , B , P 0 or P approximation to "the
Boltzmaim equation (anisotropic scattering can be considered).
However^ this program may be somewhat impracticable
when used for normal survey calculations in which the above
possibilities are not used.
The THESIS 2 code which we will describe in this
paper shows many modifications with respect to THESIS, and
the most important ones are :
1) moderators of any kind may be dealt with (if the correspond-
ing scattering kernels are known);
2) average cross-sections corresponding to up to ten thermal
groups are provided;
3) self-shielding factors may be given in input;
4.) the presence of an "external" (not slowing down) neutron
source may be treated.
Such source has been introduced to allow spectra
calculations in a loop dipped into a reactor.
Many comparisons between the results of THESIS 2
and other codes or experimental measurements have been performed^
they are shown in ref. [9]

2 Mathematical formulation of the problem.

THESIS 2 solves numerically the thermal neutron

balance integral equation in the following form :

2.1) I G(v',v) N(v')dv' + S S d (v) + S e (v) = N(v)fv(v) + ()\

where N(v) is the density of neutrons of speed , G(v',v) is

the scattering rate for neutrons from speed v' to v, (*)

S () is the external source, V(v) is. the scattering rate
given by :
v*
V(v) = I G(v,v') dv'
b
v* is the upper limit of the thermal range, corresponding to
about 1 ev. For v>v* the following conditions are assumed :
(a) G(v',v) = 0 when v'<v*, (b) 1/E behaviour of the flux,
that is N(v) = A/* where A is a constant, (c) stationary
moderator with unbounded nuclei and isotropic scattering in
the C M . system, (d) constant scattering cross section. Then,
we will write for G(v',v) when v'>v* :

G(v',v) = 2 2 R V

G(V',V) = 0 elsewhere.

The integral balance condition we may derive from equation
(2.1) by integrating both sides between v = 0 and v = v*,
states that :

that a neutron of speed v' will scatter between v and

Ultimately we must solve equation (2.1) with the expression

for S () given by equation (2.5)> with S () specified in
input and noi'malized with equation (2.7)> and A derived from
equation (2.9).
The homogeneuus integral equation thus obtained
is numerically solved, dividing the speed range 0 - v* in
intervals and substituting the integrals with sums.
Equation (2.1) is now rewritten :

2.10) \ ' NjG j L Avj + S L S d + Sf = NL [VL + Yl ]

The program computes an initial distribution Nj,(1) given by

a Maxwellian plus a 1/E tail determined by the ratio
(2.200 m/sec)/ . With these NC 1 ' it calculates the left
side of eauation (2.10) and then, dividing by [Vj, + ] the
(2)
new neutron density Nj, ' is obtained. This procedure is
repeated until the following convergence criterion is ful
filled :

Max / NL(n) / NL(n)

Let us see now which are the criteria used to

determine the speed points. Let Ei and E K o v he the energy

limits of the interval to be considered : normally we have
Ei ~ 10 ev and E ~ 1 ev (E,, ^ 3 ev). In the interval
0.1 - 30 ev, there are yj fixed values, chosen in such a
way as to reproduce carefully, by tabulating at those values,
the c ross-sections of some important elements (e.g. the
Plutonium) which present resonances in this range.
These fixed energy values FEj, (in ev) are listed
in Table 1.

This calcula tion of the speed-points values is by-passed

when the scattering matrix is read in input; in this case
the velocity mesh will be that corresponding to the
scattering matrix, and it will be read in input too, as
shown in sec. h
Once the spectrum N(v) is known and the average
c.s. have been calculated, THESIS- 2 may optionally compute
the neutron temperature , the Cacunium ratio R , and the
Westcott r.
The Cadmium ratio for a 1/v reaction is given by :

range of a 1/v cross-section, then the ratio F = /(2.200)
is related to by the equation :

2.13) F = f j^J T 0 = 293.6K

Once the spectrum has been computed and the F value is

derived, we calculate , being from equation (2.13)

Finally, Cadmium ratio and V/estcott r are related by the

and this can be written in the form

where C is a constant that, with the above values of the

parameters, becomes :

c

Now solving equation (2.15) with respect to r, and having
already computed, as above, and R Q , we get the Westcott

/ \1/2
R
Cd ^ V
The knowledge of the Westcott r may present some advantages.
In fact, when we do a burnup calculation, we need, at each
lifestep^ to know the average thermal cross sections of the
fission product poisons to be introduced into the differential
equation which computes the concentrations. A procedure which
is often used is that suggested by Walker [10] and Nephew [11].
In this scheme a differential equation is written for euch
of the most important poisons (like Xe, Sm, Gd and Eu. ), and
one tries to describe the behaviour of all the other fission
products together with 2 or 3 equations which simulate pseudo
fission products.
The average thermal crosssections of these pseudofission
products must be calculated in advance as a function of some
parameter which characterizes the spectrum, and then tabulated
once for all. Tables of this kind are available [12] where
the parameter is the Westcott r.
 14

Thus at each lifestep of the burnup calculation, it is

possible to use a program such as THESIS2 (as a subroutine
for instance, or in a chain job), to compute the thermal
average crosssections of the most important poisons, and
the Westcott r ; with this, from the mentioned tables we get the
average c.s. for the pseudofission products.

3. Basic Cross Sections

Let us now turn to the determination of the

absorption rate (), the scattering rateV(v) and the
transference function G(vv').
A library deck attached to the cede contains the
cross section read from BNL 325 of the most important
elements and reactions with a non 1/v behaviour;they are
listed in Table 2. For the 1/v c.s. only the 2200 m/sec values
are needed in incut.

For each of the elements listed in Table 2, the library

comprehends the identification (code number) and n
(n < 50) couples of values Et, (i = 1, n)f the c.s.
corresponding to whatever energy value is computed by
the program by bilogarithmic interpolation. This fact
should be kept in mind when preparing the library for a
new element.
The function () is computed^ taking into
account the energy dependent selfshielding factors :
for each isotope present there is an indicator which specifies
whether the corresponding macroscopic c.s. must be corrected
to account for the selfshielding factors.
The function G^v'^as we saidjinay be introduced
in input to THESIS2 in matrix form. In such a way it is
possible, at least in principle, to deal with any moderator,
since different codes are available to perform the scattering
kernel calculation in liquids (with the Nelkin model) [1]
organic compounds or crystal moderators^ 1i+] Deck containing
such matrices for the elements and temperatures of interest
may be set up once for all. When the monoatomic gas model
is considered, the code itself can compute the scattering
matrix ; in such a case one must provide the program with,
besides the moderator temperature and mass, the Brown and
St.John coefficients which determine the shape of the
dcattering crosssection vs. the relative speed of the
neutrons. 'The V, term appearing in equation (2.10) is always
computed as 2L GL j AVJ though in the monoatomic gas model
it obeys aft analytical formula, and though it is generally
Vt = vL 2 B (Yt).
In such a way the diagonal terms GL of the
scattering matrix which give equal contribution to both
sides of equation (2.10) become unimportant (and this is physically
reasonable).
 - 16 -

1+. Machine requirements

TKESIS-2 is a Fortran program for IBM 7090.

Its running time is strongly dependent on the number of
speed points N : a problem with N = 1+0 takes about 25"
if' the scattering matrix is to be computed, otherwise it
will take only about 1+". N may be as great as 90, but
good accuracy is generally achieved with only 1+0 or 60
groups, depending on the maximum energy considered (not
greater than 3*0 ev). Storage requirements are mainly those
of Dimension statements : the program needs 21+500 memories
if the upper limit of N must be 90, but it needs II+.500
memories if this limit is 1+0.
There is no particular tape requirement besides
the usual Monitor input-output units.

5. Description of Input

The input of THESIS-2 is composed of a fixed part

attached to the program, which one will seldom mind, and of
a part containing the data of the particular problem to be
solved.
The fixed part contains respectively :
a) a table of the Error function,
b) two cards with alphanumeric characters used to perform
the graph of the spectrum (see Appendix C ) ,
c) the cross-sections library,
d) a card with zero punched in column 5 to mark the end of
the library,
e) the energy values, listed in Table 1, corresponding to
the fixed speed points.
The cross-sections library is composed of decks
liKe the one shown in Table l+> where the symbols have the
following meaning :
 - 17 -

C(IN)V ' = code number identifying the isotope and reaction;

n(lN) = number of couples of values cross-section - energy
for that reaction (n^50);
OL > E L = are the cross-section and the corresponding energy.
As we said before, the energy values at which
the cross-sections are tabulated have been selected for
each element in such a v/ay that bilogarithmic interpolation
of that O ( E ) gives results in good approximation. Data in
the library may be easily changed and brought up-to-date
deciis similar to the one shown in Table 1+ may be auded to
account for other cross-sections, provided the maximum number
of such decke are not greater than 50.
To use the program, only the second part of the
input with data specifying the particular problem needs
to be prepared ; and this part is what we mean henceforth
by the name "input". This part should be compiled as shown
in Tables 5 and 6.
Table 5 shows the input when the scattering matrix
is to be computed by the program itself, Table 6 is for the
case of scattering matrix read in.
The input of the code is arranged in such a v/ay
to facilitate running more problems together : it is divided
in "sets", each one including data which determine one or
more related quantities. Wh^n more problems are processed
sequentially, only the sets which contain modifications with
the
respect toysame set of the previous problem need be introduced.
Input for each problem always includes a Control
card and a Title card. The control card gives the program
some information about the quantities to be computed and
the data to be read. Columns 5> 10, 15 05 of this card
contain the integers kj., k 2 , ka .... k 1 ; k-t = 1 or 0 means
th
respectively that data of the i (i / 9) set are or are
not present, k does not coi'respond to any set of data :
9
it specifies whether and in which way the output of the
spectrum is required. When kg = 0 the code does not print
the spectrum but only the average cross-sections and

(*) (IN) means that this number is an integer; other numbers

must have a decimal point punched somewhereo
 - 18 -

eventually Rpri and r. When k- > 0 the code prints the

spectrum together with a bilogarithmic graph of it (see
Appendix C) : the axes of the graph will measure respectively:

1 Neutron density vs speed i.e. N(v) (normalized to

k = 2 Neutron density vs energy i.e. N ( E ) unity)
9 3 Neutron flux vs speed i.e. ()
l+ Neutron flux vs energy i.e. ( )
When the calculation of the neutron temperature,
Cd ratio and V/estcott r is requested, put k = 1 and insert
the va-i-ue in set 11; when they are not requested, put k =0
and do not introduce .

The Title card may contain any heading information

to be printed in output.
The data of the different sets have the meaning
specified in the following :

SET 1

NV(IN) = Number of speed (or energy) points ; NV ^ 90.

EMIN, EMAX = lower and upper limits of the energy interval in

ev; EMIN can not be zero, a proper value could
be 0.001 ev; EMAX S 30 ev.

SET 2

NSV(lN) = 0 means that there is no external source; in this

case thure are no other data in this set.
= -1 the external source S () has a Maxwellian
distribution corresponding to a temperature
STEMP (C).
> 0 S () is specified for NSV different speed values:
N S L ( I N ) is the index of the speed point, SL
corresponding source value; i=1, NSV. Values of
the energies and hence of the velocities are
determined as shown in sec. 2. For instance a
monokine tic extei'nal source given by S () =S0o(v-vF
MAX'
w i l l b e i n d i c a t e d b y : NSV = 1, NS = NV, S t = S 0 .
 19

S (v) is defined except a multiplicative factor : its

actual amplitude is determined by the R ratio (see
eq. 2.7) between the external source and the slowing
down source.

SET 3

= convergence criterion (see eq. 2.11), for instance e=.001

SET k
N(IN) = number of averaged crosssections requested (N^O)
CL(IN) = Code number of the crosssection requested according
to Table 2; i = 1 ,N
TL(IN) = 1 or 1 to have respectively direct (o) or inverse
(i/o) average crosssections.

SET 5
NAV(IN) = Number of energy intervals on which average cross
sections have to be computed (NAV S 1)
EMINj, EMAXj, are the lower and upper limit of the i interval,
i = 1, NAV.

SET 6
A = bounded mass of the moderator
= free mass of the moderator (both in Atomic Mass Units)
ctL = Brown and St.John coefficients which define the scatter
ing crosssections vs relative .velocity of neutrons
through the equation oo(v ) = _, exp (,2);
s r c=1 1
some values are suggested in Table 3
SET 7

This set contains data specifying the composition of the

medium and the eventual selfshielding factors. These may
be energy dependent : in this case the energy interval EMIN
EMAX is divided in NISS (IN) intervals (NISS *S 10) specified
 20

by their respective upper limits ESSL (i = 1, NISS) in ev,

in the order ; ESSi~l and ESSL are the limits of the i
interval (ESS0 = 0), with selfshielding factors FSSL. It
must be ESSL < ESSL+i and E S S N I S S > EMAX.

If NISS = 0 (no s.s. factors) the two following

cards relating to ESSL and FSSi (see Table 5) have to be
omitted.

NA(IN) = number of not 1/v elements present ; NA ^ 30.

If NA = 0 omit the two following cards; if it is
greater than zero, the average crosssection o' these
elements must be required in SET 1+
CL(IN) and D A L , i = 1,, are the code numbers (see Table 2)
and the corresponding densities (nuclei/barncm)
of the not 1/v isotopes in the mixture; they
must or must not be corrected for the s.s.
factors if INAi(lN) = 1 or 0 respectively; when
NISS = 0 these indicators INAi are immaterial
and the corresponding spaces on the cards may be
left blank.
NE(IN) = number of 1/v elements, moderator inclosed. Two alpha
betical cards must follow : the first contains the
name of the moderator and the second the names of
the other 1/v elements to be printed in the output;
if the moderator is the only 1/v element, this
second card may be blank or contain any label.
(*)
DE^ = density of the moderator, DEL are those of the other
elements and CSL are the corresponding 2c00 m/sec
crosssections in barns, i = 1, NE.
INEL(IN) = 1 or 0 (i=2,NE) means that the density of the
corresponding 1/v element is to be corrected or
not corrected respectively with the s.s. factors.
As it is shown in Table 5, INE = 0 because the
moderator mist not be corrected with the s.s.
factors.

SET 8

= moderator temperature in C.

SET 10
This set of data has to be introduced only where the scatter
ing matrix must not be computed by the code itself but read
as input : in this case sets 1, 6 and 8 are missing and the
others are formally unchanged (see Table b)
NV(IN), and have the same meaning as before (see sets 1,
6 and 6 respectively);mo is the microscopic e^ithermal
scattering cross sections used to determine tht first guess
of the spectrum.
VL (i = 1, NV) are the values of the speed corresponding to
the elements of the scattering matrix; SCAT'LJ is the scatter
ing matrix for a moderator of unit density, related to the
function G(V,V') of section 2 by the equation G(VL,VJ) =
= DEi.SCATij. Only the elements with i^j must be introduced,
since the others are computed from the detailed balance
equation G(v,v') M(V) = G(v,v') M(v') where vl(v) is the
Maxwellian distribution. Each diagonal element SC ATLL must
start a new card.
When the data of set 10 are present, these are just after
the title card, ana eventually the other sets follow in the
order (see Tableo)

SET 11

As we said above, if K.^ = 1, a value must be introduced,

such that is the cutoff energy between the Maxwellian
and 1/E part of the spectrum (see sec. 2). In this case the
program will calculate the neutron temperature , the Cd
ratio and the Westcott r, "provided that EMAX >.b5 evo

6. Output

The output of THESIS 2 consists first of a list of

input data preceded by the print of Title card's content;
then the tabulation and graph of the thermal neutron flux
or density, vs velocity or energy, as required by the value
of kg in the control card, is provided if k q is not zero.
The graph of the spectrum is of the log-log type ; it
is only representative because of a possible error for each
printed point equal to half an interval between printing
positions.
The number of iterations necessary to fulfill equation
(2.11) and the final value of the left side of equation (2.11)
are also printed. A maximum of 20 iterations is permitted, then
the edit is forced.
For each energy interval n (n=1, NAV) in which average
cross-sections have been requested (SET 5), the program prints
the results for all the elements asked for in SET 1+ according
to the following formulae :

EMAX^ t EMAXn

o = / N(v) v o i . ( v ) d v / / N ( v ) v dv
l
v" EMIN n /

i = 1,

t = +1 or -1 if the corresponding TL in set + is respectively

+1 or 1. Besides the program prints for each of the NAV
energy interval a factor F n such that the average value in
that interval of a 1/v crosssection is the following :

o" (1/v) = F^
n OL (2200)
,

Finally, if k n = 1 amd EMAX > .6885, neutron temperature,

Cd ratio and "Westcott r are also printed.
