This benchmark incorporated full 3-D modelling of the reactor core into system transient codes for best-estimate simulations of the interactions between reactor core behaviour and plant dynamics and ...

This benchmark is based on a well-defined problem concerning a pressurised water reactor (PWR) main steam line break, which may occur as a consequence of the rupture of one steam line upstream of the...

The benchmark is based on a well-defined problem concerning a PWR main steam line break, which may occur as a consequence of the rupture of one steam line upstream of the main steam isolation valves....

Since the beginning of benchmark activities, two benchmark workshops took place. The first was held in Madrid, Spain (June 1998), and the second in Garching near Munich, Germany (March 1999). It was ...

This benchmark is based on a well-defined problem concerning a pressurised water reactor (PWR) main steam line break, which may occur as a consequence of the rupture of one steam line upstream of the...

This report defines the “OECD/NEA/NSC PBMR Coupled Neutronics/Thermal-hydraulics Transient Benchmark of the PBMR-400 Core Design”. This chapter gives more information on the day-to-day management of ...

NUPEC Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) Full-size Fine-mesh Bundle Test (BFBT) Benchmark

The Working Party on Scientific Issues of Reactor Systems (WPRS) studies the reactor physics, fuel performance, and radiation transport and shielding in present and future nuclear power systems.

Thermal hydraulics and mechanics deals with the physics and mechanics of the flow and energetic transfer of liquids, and its interactions with the structures around them in large complex systems, suc...

The international benchmark concerned pebble bed modular reactor (PBMR) coupled neutronics/thermal-hydraulics transients based on the PBMR-400MW design.
