“Real”boundary condition homogenization

Caption

In the traditional two-step method, the homogenization group constants of the fuel assembly are calculated using the assumption of reflective boundary conditions. In the hybrid two-step method used in HARMONY 2.0, the homogenization group constants are calculated based on the “real” boundary conditions with OpenMC.
