Development and validation of ARSAC-CORTH coupling code based on a generic coupling architecture
Reactor thermal-hydraulic codes can be categorized into system codes, sub-channel codes and CFD (computational fluid dynamics) codes according to the spatial discretization and simplification methods. As a traditional reactor system safety analysis code,

Validation of the burnup code MOTIVE with respect to fuel assembly decay heat data
The burn-up code MOTIVE is a 3D code for fuel assembly inventory determination developed at GRS in recent years. It modularly couples an external Monte Carlo neutron transport code to the in-house inventory code VENTINA.
