Description
MARS (Multi-dimensional Analysis of Reactor Safety) code is being developed by KAERI for the realistic thermal-hydraulic system analysis of light water reactor transients. The MARS development program consists of two stages of code development. MARS 1.4 is a unified code of RELAPS and COBRA-TF and has been developed as a basic code frame for the multi-dimensional thermal-hydraulic system analysis. And, MARS 2.x is being developed as a multi-purpose system analysis code for the coupled analysis of multi-dimensional system thermal-hydraulics, 3D core kinetics, CHF and containment. This paper discusses the MARS development program and the progress focusing on the new features of the code, that is, code unification, code modernization and restructuring, code assessment and code coupling. It also briefly introduces KAERI experimental activities for T/H model development and safety confirmation. (authors)
