Calculation of consistent steady-state conditions for boiling water reactors based on RETRAN models

Creator:

Yoshihara, Grant Masaru

Abstract:

A study regarding steady-state conditions in boiling water reactors was conducted in order to provide consistent initial conditions for transient analysis using the computer simulation code, RETRAN. Consistent steady states were generated with the RETRAN model of the system by first establishing a reference state, and then obtaining other steady...

Investigation of special RETRAN modeling options with regard to BWR stability under natural circulation conditons

Creator:

Hershberger, Daryl E.

Abstract:

The limiting conditions of operation with regard to system stability for BWRs are presently set using computer models which employ conservative assumptions regarding the mechanisms which affect stability. Development of BWR models using "best estimate" codes, such as RETRAN, may allow more exact stability limits to be determined and precise...
