Abstract:
For better analyzing of the nuclear power transient in rod-controlled reactor core by RELAP5 code, a nuclear reactor thermal-hydraulic best-estimate system code, it is expected to get the nuclear power using not only the point neutron kinetics model but also one-dimension neutron kinetics model. Thus an existing one-dimension nuclear reactor physics code was modified, to couple its neutron kinetics model with the RELAP5 thermal-hydraulic model. The detailed example test proves that the coupling is valid and correct.
