Analysis of Loss of Flow Events on Brazilian Multipurpose Reactor Using the Relap5 Code

open access: yes, 2014
This work presents the thermal hydraulic simulation of the Brazilian multipurpose reactor (RMB) using a RELAP5/MOD3.3 model. Beyond steady state calculations, three transient cases of loss of flow accident (LOFA) in the primary cooling system have been ...

Enhancement of Reflood Test Prediction by Integrating Machine Learning and Data Assimilation Technique

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Data assimilation (DA) was revealed as a highly efficient approach to enhance the prediction’s accuracy, demonstrating the reliability of the simulation through uncertainty quantification analysis. However, in the numerical simulations, most of the tasks are highly nonlinear relationships between the parameters that directly affect the efficiency of ...

Worst‐Case Accident Analysis of Accident Tolerant Fuel in NuScale Using RELAP5/MOD3‐Based Code

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Research in nuclear engineering focusses on improving the safety of light water reactors (LWRs), driven by accidents like Fukushima in 2011. The severity of this accident was a result of active cooling system failures and cladding material oxidation resulting in hydrogen explosions.
