Validation and Uncertainty Analysis of the Thermal Hydraulics Module of SOCRAT-BN Code on the Rod Bundle Experiment

Article Preview

Abstract:

SOCRAT-BN code is developed for the analysis of design and beyond design basis accidents at sodium cooled fast reactors. To simulate the behavior of the coolant in the reactor core heat transfer and friction in rod bundle geometry are required to consider. The article describes the validation of the code SOCRAT-BN on the experiment with fuel rod imitators in the triangular geometry with wire-wound taking into account experiment and some code model uncertainties.
