SiPA: post-accident simulators
Description
SIPA is one product of the CATHARE program, developed by Electricite de France (the French electricity utility) and CEA (the French atomic energy commission) with Framatome collaboration. This program was aimed at understanding and modelling sharply, thanks to the advanced CATHARE code, the PWR thermal-hydraulic behaviour during an accident. Therefore SIPA is a Simulator whose physical domain has been extended to the Post-Accident situations and which goes beyond the capacities of usual training simulators. It is also a manufacturing workshop for idiosyncratic simulators. This paper presents the SWORD workshop (Software Workshop Oriented towards Research and Development) and describes the first applications of SIPA to the French 900, 1300 and 1450 MW PWR units
