RELAP5, TRACE, MARS training on NPP simulations: Building up a full model of an SMR reactor (13th edition)

About this course

The “Hands-on-Training in NPP simulations: building up a full model of an SMR” aims to provide advances knowledgr and best practices in system-code modeling for nuclear power plants.

The course is offered by ENSO, in collaboration with Professor Jordi Freixa (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain) and Professor Taewan Kim (Incheon National University, Korea).

This 13th edition focuses on the simulation of a Small Modular Reactor (SMR). A simplified model of a pressurized light-water SMR (iPWR) will be developed from scratch. Participants will be guided through the entier workflow, beginning with the review of publicity available information in the literature and progressing toward the complete development of the plant model.

The course is intended for users with intermediate experience in system codes. Its main objectives are:

  • to model, from scratch, an iPWR-type reactor using publicy available data, and
  • to evaluate the performance of passive safety systems during a station blackout (SBO) scenario.
