[en] The BEPU methodology is capable of providing a solution in terms of increasing the nuclear power production without compromising the safety margins. This study presents different improvements performed using tools available at UPC in the field of Neutron Kinetics and Thermal Hydraulics coupled systems. The paper describes a comparison between the BEPU methodology and the Conservative Bounding methodology within the framework of the Neutron Kinetics and Thermal Hydraulics coupled systems. To perform such comparison the following tools have been selected: TRACE for thermal-hydraulic system calculations, PARCS for reactor kinetics core simulator code. A Main Steam Line Break (MSLB) in a Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) is the selected simulated transient to show the improvements performed. (Author)
