Automated, Highly Accurate Verification of RELAP5-3D [PDF]

open access: yesVolume 2B: Thermal Hydraulics, 2014
Computer programs that analyze light water reactor safety solve complex systems of governing, closure and special process equations to model the underlying physics. In addition, these programs incorporate many other features and are quite large. RELAP5-3D[1] has over 300,000 lines of coding for physics, input, output, data management, user-interaction,

Input Calibration and Validation of RELAP5 Against CIRCUS-IV Single Channel Tests on Natural Circulation Two-Phase Flow Instability

open access: yesScience and Technology of Nuclear Installations, 2015
RELAP5 is a system thermal-hydraulic code that is used to perform safety analysis on nuclear reactors. Since the code is based on steady state, two-phase flow regime maps, there is a concern that RELAP5 may provide significant errors for rapid transient ...

Code Development in Coupled PARCS/RELAP5 for Supercritical Water Reactor

open access: yesScience and Technology of Nuclear Installations, 2014
The new capability is added to the existing coupled code package PARCS/RELAP5, in order to analyze SCWR design under supercritical pressure with the separated water coolant and moderator channels. This expansion is carried out on both codes.

Modeling Moving Systems with RELAP5-3D

open access: yesNuclear Science and Engineering, 2016
RELAP5-3D is typically used to model stationary, land-based reactors. However, it can also model reactors in other inertial and accelerating frames of reference. By changing the magnitude of the gravitational vector through user input, RELAP5-3D can model reactors on a space station or the moon.

Calvert Cliffs RELAP5/MOD3/SCDAP plant deck [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
This report documents the development of a RELAP5/MOD3/SCDAP input deck for the Calvert Cliffs nuclear power plant. Through the addition of SCDAP inputs, NPA interactive capabilities, and significant nodalization enhancements the range of applicability; of this input deck has been greatly increased.
