fuel_bundle module¶
This FuelBundle class is a container for usage with other plant-level process modules. It is meant to represent a fuel bundle of an oxide fuel LWR reactor. There are three main data structures:
fuel bundle specs
solid phase
gas phase
The container user will have to provide all the data and from then on, this class will help acess the data. The printing methods reveal the contained data.
