  • Multi-Scale, Multi-Physics Reactor Pulse Simulation Method with Macroscopic and Microscopic Feedback Effects

    Creator:
    Zabriskie, Adam X.
    Abstract:
    The Transient Reactor Test facility (TREAT) at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is a unique reactor capable of stressing test fuel during a power pulse transient. TREAT fuel is composed of high enriched uranium (HEU) heterogeneous fuel; microscopic UO₂ fuel grains with an average radius of 10 μm are randomly distributed...

  • An on-line advanced plant simulator (OLAPS)

    Creator:
    Samuels, Jeffery W.
    Abstract:
    A PC based on-line advanced plant simulator (OLAPS) for high quality simulations of Portland General Electric's Trojan Nuclear Facility is presented. OLAPS is designed to simulate the thermal-hydraulics of the primary system including core, steam generators, pumps, piping and pressurizer. The simulations are based on a five equation model that...

  • A study of return to saturation oscillations in the OSU APEX thermal hydraulic testing facility

    Creator:
    Franz, Scott C.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this paper is to describe the flow oscillations which occur in the AP600 long term cooling test facility at Oregon State University. The AP600 system is an advanced pressurized water reactor design utilizing passive emergency cooling systems. A few hours after the initiation of a cold leg...

  • Quantified PIRT and uncertainty quantification for computer code validation

    Creator:
    Luo, Hu
    Abstract:
    This study is intended to investigate and propose a systematic method for uncertainty quantification for the computer code validation application. Uncertainty quantification has gained more and more attentions in recent years. U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requires the use of realistic best estimate (BE) computer code to follow the rigorous...
