GRIZZLY/FAVOR Interface Project Report

Abstract

As part of the Light Water Reactor Sustainability (LWRS) Program, the objective of the Grizzly/FAVOR Interface project is to create the capability to apply Grizzly 3-D finite element (thermal and stress) analysis results as input to FAVOR probabilistic fracture mechanics (PFM) analyses. The one benefit of FAVOR to Grizzly is the PROBABILISTIC capability. This document describes the implementation of the Grizzly/FAVOR Interface, the preliminary verification and tests results and a user guide that provides detailed step-by-step instructions to run the program.
