Implementation of generalized perturbation theory into the 3-D nodal code SIMULATE

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5352065
Determining the effects of changes in design and data parameters upon reactor performance can be very expensive when many perturbations must be considered for a complex system. In order to substantially reduce the cost involved in calculations such as these, generalized perturbation theory (GPT) capability has been implemented into the 3-D LWR nodal reactor analysis code SIMULATE. This capability makes 3-D sensitivity analysis of a realistic LWR practical for the first time. Applications to design analysis will be discussed.
