RAMONA-3B has been developed at Brookhaven National Laboratory under the sponsorship of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission for analyzing BWR systems transients. RAMONA-3B is the only currently available best-estimate BWR system transient code designed to predict three-dimensional power in the core coupled with the fuel and cladding temperature and vessel thermal hydraulics phenomena. The code employs the 1-1/2 group method with either three-dimensional or one-dimensional diffusion neutron kinetics, coupled with a one-dimensional, non-equilibrium, non-homogeneous two-phase model for thermal hydraulics.
