The calculations performed for the design and operation of a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) are a key factor for their safety analyses. The standard for the computational analysis of NPPs is the so called conventional approach, which relies on coarse mesh diffu ...
High resolution multi-physics core solvers predict safety parameters on a local scale with high accuracy while simulating local heterogeneities and their consequences. To achieve this, large computational resources are needed which renders the extensive us ...
This study aims to develop and verify the multi-physics high-resolution coupled code system nTRACER/CTF for full core depletion calculations in Cartesian geometry. The verifications are conducted on the basis of the OECD/NEA TVA Watts Bar 1 benchmark (TVA ...
PSI and North Carolina State University are developing a high-resolution multi-physics core solver for Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) analysis in Cartesian geometry, using the neutron transport code nTRACER and two Machine Learning (ML) models providing t ...
The systematic use of high-fidelity high-resolution codes which allow the prediction of safety parameters on a local scale, can result in more efficient use of the nuclear fuel and of the nuclear reactor.The Laboratory of Reactor Physics and Thermal-Hydrau ...
