Abstract
SRAC (Standard Reactor Analysis Code) is a code system applicable to neutronics analysis of a variety of reactor types, developed by Keisuke Okumura and his team in JAERI. The code system is able to analyze various nuclear reactor models and comes with a wide array of nuclear properties libraries, it greatly assists engineers and students alike in designing a nuclear reactor. Despite its usefulness, however, its command line approach creates a steep learning curve for students, particularly for those who doesn’t familiar with scripting language. SRAC Extension aims to improve user experience with SRAC without modifying the original source code for SRAC. This extension comes with two main features, an application with modern user interface to encourage first-time users to use SRAC and Powershell-based scripts for those who want to do sophisticated calculation with SRAC. This extension is built using Qt Framework (C++) and Powershell, and currently only released for Windows OS. You can access this project source codes and binaries in Git under the name SRACExt.
