Welcome to the ORIGEN Library Manager (OLM)

OLM is a command line utility that streamlines aspects of using the ORIGEN library to solve nuclide inventory generation problems. Install OLM using pip.

$ pip install scale-olm

Overview

OLM focuses on managing the ORIGEN reactor library, which is a special collection of data that enables rapid spent fuel calculations with SCALE/ORIGAMI. It has the following basic modes.

  • init : to initialize a new reactor library directory

  • create : to create a reactor library, according to these stages

    • --generate to generate the various permutations into a number of SCALE input files, e.g. covering enrichment, moderator density, and burnup space

    • --run to run SCALE (e.g. TRITON or Polaris) to generate output reaction/transition data for across the interpolation space

    • --assemble to assemble the output reaction/transition data into an ORIGEN reactor library

    • --check to check the quality of the final ORIGEN reactor library

    • --report to make a report summarizing the new reactor library

  • install : to install an ORIGEN reactor library

  • link : to link an ORIGEN reactor library into a SCALE (ORIGAMI or ARP) calculation
