ABSTRACT:  This paper presents an initial study of the convergence properties of an iterative algorithm for computing the burnup distribution in a pebble bed reactor (PBR) in its equilibrium core condition. The algorithm is implemented in the Griffin code. Griffin is a reactor multiphysics analysis application jointly developed by Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). Griffin’s PBR algorithm is discussed and simulation data are presented. An alternative matrix formulation of the algorithm is presented that facilitates analysis of the iterative algorithm. The dependence of the spectral radius of the iterative algorithm on operational and discretization parameters is investigated.
