Abstract EN
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 simulated.
The RELAP5 simulations demonstrate that after all initiating events, the reactor reaches a safe new steady state keeping the integrity and safety of the core.
Moreover, a sensitivity study was performed to verify the nodalization behavior due to the variation of the thermal hydraulic channels in the reactor core.
Transient calculations demonstrate that both nodalizations follow approximately the same behavior.
