RELAP5-Advanced |
|
Description: The hands-on training course is directed toward advanced RELAP5 users with system thermal-hydraulics background.
The course provides information on the nodalization techniques of components in Integral Test Facility (ITF) and on the qualification process of a system thermal-hydraulic calculation, including the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the accuracy. The so called “Kv-scaled calculation” of a NPP to the selected test in a ITF is also part of the course as well as the identification of simple and complex errors in a NPP input nodalization.
Instructors: D. De Luca (NINE), M. Cherubini (NINE), A. Petruzzi (NINE)

COBRA-TF-Beginner |
|
Description: This is an introductory course on subchannel codes and methods. The course provides an overview of the computer codes used to perform subchannel analysis in safety and core engineering problems. Participants can learn about the purpose and various uses of subchannel methods. While the training applies broadly to all subchannel analysis codes, COBRA-TF is the specific code for the training. The syntax and the input structure of the code and plotting tools are covered. Hands-on training on simple modeling is provided. In the last day advanced and future capabilities of COBRA-TF are presented.
Instructors: M. Avramova (NCSU), V. Parrinello (NINE)

PARCS & 3D NK-TH
Coupling-Beginner
|
|
Description: The seminar-training is directed toward beginner PARCS users with little or no prior PARCS code experience. The course provides an overview of the PARCS code and methods, familiarization with the input syntax, and the input and output structure of the code. The course covers the entire process of core modeling, from cross-section generation, input preparation, to coupling with RELAP5 and TRACE and output analysis. The major part of the course is spent on hands-on modeling of a PWR reactor.

MELCOR - Beginner
|
|
Description: The seminar-training is directed towards beginner MELCOR users without any (or little) MELCOR SA code experience. The course provides a basic knowledge of main packages used in the code. For each package, the course focuses on the comprehension of the syntax of the required cards and the most used optional cards needed to run the code. Simple exercises are included providing real-case applications of the theory

MELCOR - Intermediate
|
|
Description: The seminar-training is directed towards intermediate MELCOR users with knowledge of the main packages syntax and how they interact between them. The course provides knowledge regarding the optional packages of the code as well as deepen into the less used optional cards of the main packages. More complex and detailed exercises are included, involving several packages interconnected to reproduce real accident scenarios.

Radiological Consequence Analysis
|
|
Description: The fundamental objective of nuclear safety is to protect the environment and the general public from harmful effects of ionizing radiation. To achieve this objective the safety analyst has to provide, among other things, which consequences are to be expected in case of a release of radioactive materials from a nuclear facility. This is the goal of “Radiological Consequence Analysis” RCA. This course will explain all aspects of RCA, starting from the scope of RCA up to the actual analysis. Within licensing analysis, the analyst has to show that also under severe conditions the environment and the general public are protected. Main focus here is placed on the close-up range of the nuclear power plant, models are simple and conservative. On the other hand, in the field of civil protection and catastrophe management, models need to cover long range and are aiming to be as accurate as possible. The course will cover both applications, explain boundary conditions, tools and models used.

PSA-Beginner |
|
Description: The training is directed toward beginners in Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA). The training programme is developed in the way that the participants obtain sufficient knowledge on Level-1 PSA basic concepts and methodology and practical experience in the development of the PSA models using selected PSA Software. The major part of the course is spent on hands-on training on the development of accident sequences and system models for simplified LWR. It is expected that after training participants will be able to continue PSA activity using PSA software themselves.
