Transient analysis capability has been added to the advanced nodal methodology of SIMULATE-3. The transient modules couple a transient version of the steady-state nodal method QPANDA with a one-dimensional, bundle-by-bundle thermal-hydraulic feedback module. The accuracy of the code has been assessed by using several benchmark problems, including the LMW benchmark and the Nuclear Energy Agency Committee on Reactor Physics (NEACRP) pressurized water reactor (PWR) rod ejection benchmarks.
