VISION 14 June 2023 NRC-Industry Meeting 2
FAVPRO: Development Status
- Completed
- JSON I/O
- Full modularization
- Integration
- 3 in 1
- No intermediate I/O
- Ongoing
- Refactoring
- Corrected minor bugs with little impact on the results Embrittlement Trend Curve
- Move towards object-oriented functional programming FAVOR FAVPRO
- Parallelization RG-1.99 Rev. 2 RG-1.99 Rev. 2
- Performance profiling EONY 2000 EONY 2013
- Targeted parallelization EONY 2006
- New features Kirk 2007
- ETC consolidation and expansion Kirk + Radamo 2007 14 June 2023 NRC-Industry Meeting 3
FAVOR/FAVPRO User Group
- To obtain FAVOR and/or FAVPRO:
- Fill out the NRC Codes NDA
- Once approved, the code executable and input generator are downloaded via NRCs BOX service
- All approved users become members of the User Group
- Annual meetings (first meeting on 5/19/22-5/20/22)
- Newsletters
- New code versions
- User input to the development team is encouraged (bugs, new features, etc.)
- Cost: free!
- Could change at some point, but not in immediate future
- What about source code?
- Can be obtained on special case-by-case basis, pending approval of special request 14 June 2023 NRC-Industry Meeting 4
Summary and Perspectives
- FAVPRO is a new tool to replace FAVOR
- Enhanced SQA pedigree and testing
- Modern, modular, parallel code for enhanced performance, enhanced user experience, and enhanced adaptability
- New features:
- As-found flaw modeling
- Standard conforming K solutions where possible (ASME)
- New embrittlement trend curves to reflect the latest standards and research
- FAVPRO is a robust and resilient foundation that can be built upon to add new models, new probabilistic functionality, new materials, and new physical models to adapt to the rapidly evolving nuclear technology landscape 14 June 2023 NRC-Industry Meeting 5
