“…In a previous study [13,14] the one-dimensional optimization code SWAN was set to find the highest possible dose to the tumor, H, for a given H/L -tumor-to-healthy tissue dose ratiowhich was selected for this study to be somewhat arbitrarily fixed at 3.3. The BSA was driven by a spherical annulus-shaped sub-critical multiplier made of 20% enriched uranium and designed to have a k eff of 0.98.…”

SWANS is a new prototypic analysis sequence that provides an intelligent, semiautomatic search for the maximum k eff of a given amount of specified fissile material, or of the minimum critical mass. It combines the optimization strategy of the SWAN code with the composition-dependent resonance self-shielded cross sections of the SCALE package. For a given system composition arrived at during the iterative optimization process, the value of k eff is as accurate and reliable as obtained using the CSAS1X Sequence of SCALE-4.4. This report describes how SWAN is integrated within the SCALE system to form the new prototypic optimizaton sequence, describes the optimization procedure, provides a user guide for SWANS, and illustrates its application to five different types of problems. In addition, the report illustrates that resonance self-shielding might have a significant effect on the maximum k eff value a given fissile material mass can have. xii
