Abstract

Abstract

According to the characteristics of fuel salt and moderator in Molten Salt Reactor,the PWR thermal-hydraulic code CATHARE is modified,which is applied to study the behaviour of a single-channel of the MSR core.The calculation results show that CATHARE can predict the coupling of thermal-hydraulic and neutronics in steady-state conditions and under several transients（i.e.,reactivity variations and fuel mass flow rate variations）.
- CATHARE,
- Molten Salt Reactor,
- Coupling of thermal-hydraulic and neutronics
