Abstract:
The software package PCM, consisted of lattice code PINE, core physics code COCO and flux mapping code MAPLE, has been used in the design of HPR1000. The Validation of PCM used power plant data, experimental data, benchmarks, and similar software’s results. To complete the iterative validation more efficiently, an automated validation platform YAM was developed. The YAM automates the validation process and computational procedure of the software package PCM. The validation shows that the results of PCM match well with the references. The uncertainty of PCM package is less than that assumed in the reactor safety analysis.
