Reconstructing Nuclear Fuel Cycle Operations with Nuclear Archaeology

This repository contains the code used in Reconstructing Nuclear Fuel Cycle Operations with Nuclear Archaeology by Max Schalz and Malte Göttsche, presented at the INMM & ESARDA Joint Annual Meeting in Vienna, 2023.

Overview

• simulation/: This directory contains the driver files to start the forward and reconstruction runs, as well as the definitions of the parameter distributions, the template Cyclus input file and data used in the case study.
• analysis/: This directory mostly contains scripts needed to create the figures used in the presentation and/or the paper.

Software Requirements

This repository uses Bicyclus.

Additionally, the following Python3 modules are needed: Scipy, Pandas, matplotlib, seaborn, Arviz, NumPy, Aesara (only needed for the inference runs).

If you install Bicyclus using the plotting option (pip3 install .[plotting]), then all of these packages will be installed anyway.
