Description
The purpose of COMPAS (CANDU cOre Management Procedure Automation System) is to support efficient core management and error-free operation of CANDU core. One of the important functions of COMPAS is to check the coolant flow rate, which is a main function of NUCIRC (Nuclear Circuit Program for heat transport system by thermo-hydraulic analysis) code. The purpose of NUCIRC code is to guarantee the integrity of fuel by maintaining normal flow in core. This module has 3 functional modes like monthly check, single-phase modeling and two-phase modeling. The applications of the modes depend on the core status which are divided into the normal run and the restarting. This paper introduced the functionality of the NUCIRC module in COMPAS and some issues related with the flow management
