This report documents strategies and test problems to support Verification and Validation (V&V) of the systems analysis tools currently being developed under the Reactor Product Line (RPL) of DOE’s Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NEAMS) program. A suite of verification test cases has been developed. This test suite supports development of new codes as well as maintenance of existing codes. For advanced tools that are under development like RELAP-7 for light water reactor analysis [1] and the MOOSE based component models for SFR (M-SFR) analyses [2], verification of simulation results must be performed throughout the entire development phase. This test suite is also useful for established codes as part of automated testing to ensure that general code maintenance does not change existing results.
