RBMK thermohydraulic safety assessments using RELAP5/MOD3 codes [PDF]
The capability of the RELAP5/MOD3 code to validate various transients encountered in RBMK reactor postulated accidents has been assessed. The assessment results include a loss of coolant accident at the inlet of the core pressure tube, the blockage of a pressure tube, and the pressure response of the core cavity to in core pressure tube ruptures. These

RELAP5-3D Code Validation for RBMK Phenomena [PDF]
The RELAP5-3D thermal-hydraulic code was assessed against Japanese Safety Experiment Loop (SEL) and Heat Transfer Loop (HTL) tests. These tests were chosen because the phenomena present are applicable to analyses of Russian RBMK reactor designs. The assessment cases included parallel channel flow fluctuation tests at reduced and normal water levels, a ...

Application of RELAP5/Mod3.3 – Fluent coupling codes to CIRCE-HERO
Abstract This paper presents the work ongoing at the DICI (Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile e Industriale) of the University of Pisa on the application of coupled methodology between Fluent CFD code and RELAP5/Mod3.3 system code. In particular, this methodology was applied to the LBE-water heat exchanger HERO, with the aim to analyse ...

Heat Transfer Boundary Conditions in the RELAP5-3D Code [PDF]
The heat transfer boundary conditions used in the RELAP5-3D computer program have evolved over the years. Currently, RELAP5-3D has the following options for the heat transfer boundary conditions: (a) heat transfer correlation package option, (b) non-convective option (from radiation/conduction enclosure model or symmetry/insulated conditions), and (c ...

RELAP5/MOD3.3 Analysis of the Loss of External Power Event with Safety Injection Actuation
The code assessment typically comprises basic tests cases, separate effects test, and integral effects tests. On the other hand, the thermal hydraulic system codes like RELAP5/MOD3.3 are primarily intended for simulation of transients and accidents in ...
