In the operation of nuclear power plants, it is very important to evaluate different accident scenarios in actual plant conditions with different codes. In the field of nuclear safety, steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) is one of the main accidents. In this research, transient analysis of the primary system variation of thermo-hydraulics parameters in primary loop under SGTR accident in AP1000 nuclear power plant (NPP) is analyzed by Relap5-MV thermo-hydraulics code. The transient test scenario is modeled using the RELAP5-MV for the AP1000 NPP. The calculation was performed up to a transient time of 3,000.0 s. The results obtained from RELAP5 and RELAP5-MV are in agreement as they are based on the same models though in comparison with RELAP5, RELAP5-MV makes simulation of nuclear power systems easier and convenient for users most especially beginners.
