RELAP5-3D Model for the KURSK 1 NPP
نویسنده
چکیده
A RELAP5-3D model has been developed for the RBMK Kursk 1 NPP. The primary features of this model are the three-dimensional neutronics model of the reactor core and the user subroutine that generates the neutron cross-sections. This subroutine contains the same neutron cross-section libraries that are presently being used in the Russian STEPAN/KOBRA calculations. The implementation of the neutronics mesh into the reactor core is described along with the results done to validate the accuracy of this representation.

Reactor Physics Analysis of the VHTGR Core
As part of an I-NERI project to develop safety analysis codes and experimental validation for a VeryHigh Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (VHTGR), we have developed MCNP5 [1] models to represent material heterogeneities inherent in the microsphere fuel particles and fuel compacts for a GT-MHR design [2]. We have also performed preliminary coupled nuclear-thermalhydraulic (NTH) analysis to obtain ...

The RELAP5/MOD3.2 R/T engineering quality plant simulation code has been developed based on the system thermal-hydraulics code RELAP5 and the nodal spatial kinetics code NESTLE. Preliminary validation of the code as an engineering simulator was performed using a series of NEA PWR control rod ejection and withdrawal problems. Real time performance for simulator applications was demonstrated for ...
