Process flow diagram for T5-DEPL, TRACE coupling. The notations are as follows: gives the nodal fuel composition, is the nodal power distribution, and and are temperature and density of the coolant, respectively. is the converged power profile of the previous burnup step. For the first burnup step, is a uniform power density to begin the iterative process.
