Reactor Analysis Support Package (RASP). Volume 4. BWR physics analysis guidelines. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5041956

The EPRI Reactor Analysis Support Package (RASP) consists of computer codes and documentation for analyzing reactor physics and thermal-hydraulics problems. The principal applications of these codes involve fuel management, safety analysis for reload submittals and general support for reactor operations. This report explains one aspect of RASP; namely, the reactor physics applications for boiling water reactors. The topics included are the reactor physics models within the RASP codes, the parameters needed for reload safety analysis, the use of reactor physics parameters in each of the transients/accidents that are analyzed for safety analyses and in the interpretation of in-core instrumentation, and the validation of physics models. Although this report refers to the specific codes within RASP, most of the discussion is general enough to be applicable to any calculational methodology.
