4. NATURE OF PROBLEM SOLVED

MADONNA is a modular code system for two-dimensional neutron streaming calculations in reactor shielding with various shapes of void, such as cylindrical duct, annular duct, and stepped or offset annuli.

5. METHOD OF SOLUTION

MADONNA is based upon a removal-diffusion method coupled with an albedo-transport equation. The albedo-transport equations are solved in void regions with initial leakage currents obtained from the diffusion equation solution for an imaginary system where the original voids are filled. The removal-diffusion equation is then solved in the whole system where the voids are replaced with the boundary conditions expressed in terms of the net neutron currents to facilitate the solution of the albedo-transport equation.

6. RESTRICTIONS OR LIMITATIONS

The principal restriction on the complexity of the problem is the availability of core storage. All large modules are variably dimensioned. The array sizes are set for the particular problem being run at execution.

7. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

Running times for this system are a function of the number of removal neutron groups, diffusion neutron groups, spatial nodes in a calculational geometry and subdivisions at duct wall surfaces.

8. COMPUTER HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

MADONNA is operable on the IBM 370/169 computer. The amount of core storage required depends upon the problem. All large modules are variably dimensioned.

9. COMPUTER SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS.

A Fortran IV G-level compiler is required.
