Description
ATHENA-3D has been adapted from the RELAP5-3D code for Generation IV reactor analysis. New coolants and components have been implemented or improved, and constitutive models added for heat transfer and pressure drop. Combined with the existing modeling capabilities inherent in the code, it has been shown capable of modeling the design features of some of the Generation IV concepts. To gain confidence in code predictions, however, will require validation using relevant experimental data
