BWR refill-reflood program: model development task plan

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5497689
The development of a boiling water reactor (BWR) version of the TRAC computer code requires the development of models for phenomena of particular importance for the BWR and of models for the specific BWR components. Phenomena of particular importance for the BWR include void-fraction prediction governed by the wall friction, interface shear, the phase and velocity profiles, and the prediction of the wall and interface heat transfer. Specific BWR components include the jet pump, steam separator, and steam dryer. The development of a BWR version of TRAC, furthermore, includes improvements to the basic equations and the code efficiency, and the development of a single channel version. The tasks in this development are described, and schedules and milestones are given.
