ICONE12-49300 DEVELOPMENT OF THE METHODOLOGY OF THE SAFETY ANALYSIS PERFORMED BY THE COUPLED KIKO3D/ATHLET CODE SYSTEM IN VVER-440 TYPE NPP

Abstract

ABSTRACT In the deterministic safety analysis codes are required in order to provide evaluations of potential nuclear plant accidents. In the fields of the core transient behaviour, the computer codes have achieved a high degree of realistic modelling. Nevertheless, some further tools for the investigations of the wide range of physical phenomena in the whole plant transient, such as modeling the ex-core detector signals and the malfunctioning of the emergency control system are unavoidable, too. The programs and methods used in KFKI-AEKI for safety analysis of VVER-440 NPP are presented. The accident analysis methodology for a boron dilution scenario, in which an inactive coolant loop is started, is shown
