MOXY/MOD032; BWR core heat transfer code. [IBM360; CDC7600; FORTRAN IV and Assembly language (IBM360), FORTRAN IV and COMPASS (CDC7600)]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6460629

MOXY is used for the thermal analysis of a planar section of a boiling water reactor (BWR) fuel element during a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). The code employs models that describe heat transfer by conduction, convection, and thermal radiation, and heat generation by metal-water reaction and fission product decay. Models are included for considering fuel-rod swelling and rupture, energy transport across the fuel-to-cladding gap, and the thermal response of the canister. MOXY requires that time-dependent data during the blowdown process for the power normalized to the steady-state power, for the heat-transfer coefficient, and for the fluid temperature be provided as input. Internal models provide these parameters during the heatup and emergency cooling phases.IBM360;CDC7600; FORTRAN IV and Assembly language (IBM360), FORTRAN IV and COMPASS (CDC7600); OS/360 (IBM360) and SCOPE 2.1 (CDC7600); 300K bytes of storage (IBM360) or 110,000 (octal) words of small core memory (SCM) (CDC7600), standard input/output units, and 5 other units are required..
