A Computer Code, NATCON, for the Analyses of Steady-State Thermal-Hydraulics and Safety Margins in Plate-Type Research Reactors Cooled by Natural Convection
- Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), Argonne, IL (United States)
The NATCON code provides a capability for the analysis of the thermal-hydraulics of plate-type research reactors cooled by natural convection. The code includes steady-state estimates of what are often considered safety margins. These estimates may include power peaking factors, hot channel factor components, and laminar flow entrance effects. A listing of the code and a description of the input are included, along with some sample results. The current version of the code has only properties data for light water.
