Abstract
This report documents a series of programming upgrades to Version 6.0 of the LAPUR code. LAPUR, a computer program in FORTRAN, is a mathematical description of the core of a boiling water reactor. Its two linked modules, LAPURX and LAPURW, respectively solve the steady-state governing equations for the coolant and fuel and the dynamic equations for the coolant, fuel, and neutron field in the frequency domain. The main upgrade in LAPUR 6 is the ability to model part-length fuel rods and fuel spacers explicitly. General implementation descriptions are followed by a detailed description of input and output parameters of LAPURX and LAPURW. Sample inputs are included and stability benchmarks are noted.
