Description

This work presents the simulation of an anticipated transient for Angra 2 Nuclear Power Plant, where the coast down of the four reactor coolant pumps is verified. The best estimate thermal hydraulic system code RELAP5/MOD3.2 was used on this frame. A multi-purpose nodalization of Angra 2 was developed to simulate a comprehensive set of operational transients and accidents with RELAP5/MOD3.2 code. The overall objective of this work is to provide independent accident evaluation and further operational behavior follow-up to support the licensing process of the plant. (author)
