Toward lattice QCD simulation on AP1000

Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 1992
Abstract AP1000 is Fujitsu Laboratory's experimental parallel computer consisting of up to 1024 microcomputers called cells. It is found that each AP1000 cell can sustain two to three megaflops computational speed for full QCD lattice numerical simulations in IEEE 64-bit floating point ...

Analysis of safety margin of in-vessel retention for AP1000

Nuclear Engineering and Design, 2010
In-vessel retention (IVR) of core melt is a key severe accident management strategy adopted by most operating nuclear power plants and advanced light water reactors (ALWRs), AP600, AP1000, etc. External reactor vessel cooling (ERVC) is a novel severe accident management for IVR analysis.

Experimental investigation of upper plenum entrainment in AP1000

Progress in Nuclear Energy, 2015
Abstract Upper plenum liquid entrainment can reduce the coolant inventory in the reactor pressure vessel and poses great threats to core uncovering and melting in the accident conditions. To make up for the deficiency of upper plenum entrainment database, the Automatic Depressurization and Entrainment TEst Loop (ADETEL) was constructed and upper ...

Study of AP1000 Protection System Based on FirmSys

Volume 1: Operations and Maintenance, Engineering, Modifications, Life Extension, Life Cycle and Balance of Plant; I&C, Digital Controls, and Influence of Human Factors, 2017
In order to design AP1000 protection system based on the FirmSys platform of CTEC, the AP1000 protection system based on CommonQ platform is analyzed and researched. Through the comparison of the FirmSys platform and the CommonQ platform, it is found that the number of cabinets should be increased largely if the protection system design based on the ...

The SCDAP/RELAP5 3.2 model of AP1000 on SBLOCA

Progress in Nuclear Energy, 2012
Abstract One of innovation design of both the AP600 and AP1000 from conventional Westinghouse PWRs is that they includes passive safety features to prevent or minimize core uncovery during small break loss of coolant accidents (SBLOCAs). This paper uses the best estimate code SCDAP/RELAP5 3.2 to build the numerical model of AP1000.

AP1000® SBLOCA simulations with TRACE code

Annals of Nuclear Energy, 2015
Abstract The AP1000 ® is an advanced pressurized water reactor (PWR) design developed by Westinghouse which implements passive safety systems to provide core cooling in case of accident. The performing of such systems must be evaluated through the performance of experiments and simulations with a variety of thermal–hydraulic codes.
