+Criticality Safety Overview
+===========================
+
+**Introduction by B. T. Rearden**
+
+SCALE provides a suite of computational tools for criticality safety
+analysis that is primarily based on the KENO Monte Carlo code for
+eigenvalue neutronics calculations :cite:`goluoglu_monte_2011`. Two variants of KENO provide
+identical solution capabilities with different geometry packages. KENO
+V.a uses a simple and efficient geometry package sufficient for modeling
+many systems of interest to criticality safety and reactor physics
+analysts. KENO-VI uses the SCALE Generalized Geometry Package, which
+provides a quadratic-based geometry system with much greater flexibility
+in problem modeling but with slower runtimes. Both versions of KENO
+perform eigenvalue calculations for neutron transport primarily to
+calculate multiplication factors (*k\ eff*) and flux distributions of
+fissile systems in both continuous energy and multigroup modes. They are
+typically accessed through the integrated SCALE sequences described
+below. KENO’s grid geometry capability extends region-based features for
+accumulating data for source or biasing parameter specifications, as
+well as for tallying results from a calculation for visualization or
+communication of data into or out of a calculation. Criticality safety
+analysts may also be interested in the sensitivity and uncertainty
+analysis techniques that can be applied for code and data validation as
+described elsewhere in this document.
+
+**Criticality Safety Analysis Sequences**
+
+The Criticality Safety Analysis Sequences (CSAS) with KENO V.a (CSAS5)
+and KENO-VI (CSAS6**)** provide a reliable, efficient means of
+performing *k\ eff* calculations for systems routinely encountered in
+engineering practice. The CSAS sequences implement XSProc to process
+material input and provide a temperature and resonance-corrected cross
+section library based on the physical characteristics of the problem
+being analyzed. If a continuous energy cross section library is
+specified, no resonance processing is needed, and the continuous energy
+cross sections are used directly in KENO, with temperature corrections
+provided as the cross sections are loaded.
+
+A search capability is available with CSAS5 to find desired values of
+*k\ eff* as a function of dimensions or densities. The two basic search
+options offered are (1) an optimum search seeking a maximum or minimum
+value of *k\ eff* and (2) a critical search seeking a fixed value of
+*k\ eff*.
+
+For continuous energy calculations, reaction rate tallies can be
+requested within the CSAS input, and for multigroup calculations,
+reaction rate calculations are performed using the KENO Module for
+Activity-Reaction Rate Tabulation (KMART) post-processing tools. A
+conversion tool is provided to up-convert KENO V.a input to KENO-VI
+either as a direct KENO input (K5toK6) or, more commonly, as a CSAS
+sequence (C5toC6).
+
+**STARBUCS: Burnup-Credit Analysis Sequence**
+
+The Standardized Analysis of Reactivity for Burnup Credit using SCALE
+(STARBUCS) :cite:`gauld_starbucs_2001,radulescu_enhancements_2009` is a control module to perform
+criticality calculations for spent fuel systems employing burnup credit.
+STARBUCS automates the criticality safety analysis of spent fuel
+configurations by coupling the depletion and criticality aspects of the
+analysis, thereby eliminating the need to manually process the spent
+fuel nuclide compositions into a format compatible with criticality
+safety codes.
+
+STARBUCS performs a depletion analysis calculation for each spatially
+varying burnup region (if an axial or horizontal burnup profile is
+specified) of a spent fuel assembly using the ORIGEN-ARP methodology of
+SCALE. If a multigroup calculation is to be performed in KENO, the spent
+fuel compositions are then used to generate resonance self-shielded
+cross sections for each burnup-dependent fuel region. Finally, a
+KENO criticality calculation is performed to determine the neutron
+multiplication factor for the system.
+
+The STARBUCS input format has been designed around the existing
+depletion analysis and criticality safety sequences of SCALE. Only a
+minimal amount of input beyond that typically required for a fresh-fuel
+calculation is needed to perform a burnup-credit calculation.
+
+STARBUCS was developed to facilitate studies of major burnup-credit
+phenomena, such as those identified in the US Nuclear Regulatory
+Commission’s *Interim Staff Guidance 8*, :cite:`us_nuclear_regulatory_commission_burnup_2012` but it is restricted to
+modeling one assembly type with the same starting enrichment loaded
+throughout the transportation or storage model. Greater flexibility is
+available by computing individual assembly burnup compositions with the
+ORIGAMI code and then creating a KENO model to implement these
+compositions.
+
+For burnup loading curve iterative calculations, STARBUCS employs the
+search algorithm from CSAS5 to determine initial fuel enrichments that
+satisfy a convergence criterion for the calculated *k\ eff* value of the
+spent fuel configuration.
+
+**Sourcerer: Hybrid Method for Starting Source Distribution**
+
+As the fidelity of criticality models continues to increase, especially
+for storage and transportation systems, the ability of the Monte Carlo
+codes to consistently provide a converged fission source can be
+challenging. Studies have shown that using a starting fission
+distribution similar to the true fission distribution can reduce the
+number of skipped generations required for fission source convergence,
+and it can significantly improve the reliability of the final *k\ eff*
+result :cite:`ibrahim_acceleration_2011`. The Sourcerer sequence applies the
+Denovo :cite:`evans_denovo_2010` discrete ordinates code to generate a starting fission
+source distribution in a KENO Monte Carlo calculation. The discrete
+ordinates calculation is performed on a user-defined Cartesian grid
+geometry where macroscopic material definitions are automatically
+created from the Monte Carlo model and multigroup group cross sections
+are appropriately generated.
+
+For many criticality safety applications, the additional step of
+performing a deterministic calculation to initialize the starting
+fission source distribution is not necessary. However, for challenging
+criticality safety analyses such as as-loaded spent nuclear fuel
+transportation packages with a mixed loading of low- and high-burnup
+fuel, even a low-fidelity deterministic solution for the fission source
+produces more reliable results than the typical starting distributions
+of uniform or cosine functions over the fissionable regions, as
+demonstrated in a recent study :cite:`ibrahim_hybrid_2013`.
+
+**Criticality Accident Alarm System Analysis with KENO and MAVRIC**
+
+Criticality accident alarm systems (CAAS) safety analyses modeling
+presents challenges because the analysis consists of a criticality
+problem and a deep-penetration shielding problem :cite:`peplow_criticality_2009`. Modern codes are
+typically optimized to handle one of these types of problems, but not
+both. The two problems also differ in size—the criticality problem
+depends on materials relatively close to the fissionable materials,
+whereas the shielding problem can cover a much larger range.
+
+CAAS analysis can be performed using the CSAS6 criticality sequence and
+the MAVRIC shielding sequence. First, the fission distribution (in space
+and energy) is determined via CSAS6. This information is collected on a
+grid geometry that overlies the physical geometry model and is saved as
+a Monaco mesh source file. The mesh source is then used as the source
+term in MAVRIC. The absolute source strength is set by the user to the
+total number of fissions (based on the total power released) during the
+criticality excursion. MAVRIC can be optimized to calculate a specific
+detector response at one location or to calculate multiple
+responses/locations with roughly the same relative uncertainty.
