Computational methods for LMFBR whole-core accident analysis

Creators

Description

This chapter discusses the development of current state-of-the-art computational methods used in the United States for analysis of core meltdown accidents (Hypothetical Core Disruptive Accidents) in LMFBRs. The emphasis is on the phenomenological basis and numerical methods of the codes SAS, VENUS-II, SIMMER, and REXCO
