Validation of CASMO/SIMULATE code package for TVO boiling water reactors
- VTT Energy (Finland)
- Teollisuuden Voima Oy, Helsinki (Finland)
The possibilities of modelling TVO I and TVO II boiling water reactors with the CASMO/SIMULATE code package have been studied by VTT Energy. Altogether 28 cycles have been calculated, concentrating on a few cycles with both equilibrium and mixed fuel loadings. The comparisons have been performed mainly against plant measured data (TIP measurements), but also against results of core follow calculations with other programs. Special emphasis has been put on variation of the effective multiplication factor (k{sub eff}), both in a cycle and between cycles. With a minimum of effort a large data set has been produced and the capability to reliably and easily use the CASMO/SIMULATE code has been proven. In addition a good basis for the refinement of the calculation model has been created.
