bae-synergistic's Issues

Table 1 question mark

In table 1, there is a question mark next to AP1000. Please resolve. Perhaps with a footnote?

VISION recipe details

The assumptions (ORIGEN version, libraries, spectrum etc.) of the VISION recipes and their reference work should be written in the revision.

ArXiV submission

When #3 has been completed and the paper is ready for submission, we should submit it to the arxiv.

Rerun with new enrichment

The simulation needs to be rerun with the original fresh fuel composition of 4.29 enrichment.

This issue can be closed when:

• Simulation is rerun and the changed input file is pushed to github
• edits in the paper is made of the new enrichment
• Reply in the revisions document is made

Explain ASTRID lifetime assumption

Explain the ASTRID lifetime assumption of 80 years

This issue can be closed when:

• The paper 'aiming' ASTRID lifetime for 60 years is cited (gauche_generation_2012)
• Mention in paper that operational experience and advances in materials would lead to license extension.
• Reply in the revisions document is made

Change figure color

The stacked bar chart for all EU nations' nuclear power supply needs to be changed to be differentiable

This issue can be closed when:

• The plot is regenerated with altering color maps (or rainbows) and the image is replaced
• Reply in the revisions document is made

final reviews

It's time for final reviews before submission!
This issue can be closed when Prof. Singer has had an opportunity to make comments, corrections, and edits. For a bonus, if other students in the group would be interested in making suggestions, now is a good time to get those suggestions from our colleagues. Anyone who gives helpful comments should be added in the acknowledgements.

Need new DOI for transition-scenarios

This issue can be closed when :

• a new DOI has been created for the software associated with the paper.
• A PR is merged such that the new DOI replaces the old DOI in the bibliography

Show surplus PU / UNF

Show (if can ) surplus Pu and UNF

This issue can be closed when:

• number is calculated showing surplus Pu / UNF
• for both cases (accept all EU UNF / accept only highlighted nations' UNF)
• Reply in the revisions document is made

Add future work

Add future section

This can be accomplished with the Cyclus simluator and Cycamore Reactor archetype, but will require depletion calculations outside of the current scope of this effort. we have listed your suggestion as future work as it would certainly imporve the fidelity of future results.

This section of the analysis intends only to identify first-order trends. The simulation itself involves many simplifying assumptions regarding both policy and reactor physics. Accordingly, while individual depletion calculations regarding various breeding ratios would improve precision, it may not improve accuracy.
