An integrated strategy for modelling and simulating the transitory regimes in Nuclear Power Plants. Proactive educational and training oriented approach at the University 'Politehnica' of Bucharest

This paper is a brief presentation of the preoccupation of the thermohydraulics modelling and simulating group acting at the Power Plants Department of the Faculty of Power Engineering in Bucharest aiming at creating an integrated software library to study the NPP components in abnormal and transitory regimes. The studies accomplished developed mathematical models which can be solved by using advanced codes (ACSR, MMS, MATLAB) and can be integrated in an evolving strategy for simulation. The basic elements of this strategy are: modular modelling, anticipatory approach of the evolution of the analysed systems and adaptive dynamic control. The global goal of developed simulations is an efficient identification and control of the transitory regimes having an impact on the safety performances of the plant.
