Validation of SOCRAT-BN code on rod bundle experiments

  • 1. Nuclear Safety Institute, Moscow (Russian Federation)

Description

SOCRAT-BN code is developed for the analysis of design and beyond design basis accidents at NPPs with liquid sodium as a coolant. To simulate the behavior of the coolant in the reactor core heat transfer and friction in rod bundle geometry are required to consider. The code SOCRAT-BN uses specialized closing relations to simulate rod bundles. The article describes the validation of the code SOCRAT-BN on experiments with fuel rod imitators in the triangular geometry with a wire-wound. (author)
