ARCADIA: Framatome´s Code Suite for Core Design and Safety Analysis

ARCADIA, Framatome's Code System for Neutronic/Thermal-Hydraulic/Thermomechanic analysis brings the best of decades of expertise in code development for a wide range of reactors into a single coherent software suite. ARCADIA brings better results, better predictability thanks to its generic approach and full consistency between cycle and transient calculations. Great care has also been taken on the usage of the system, with a dedicated development of graphical user interfaces that assist the user in every step of the analysis. Built-in automation and automatic report generation make for better efficiency. ARCADIA not only enables a better insight into the physics of the reactor; it also enables new functionality and the optional adoption of advanced methods that further increase reactor safety and economics. ARCADIA and its derived methods have been and are being licensed by an increasingly large number of regulators. The PWR application is already in production with BWR usage coming next.
