Reproduction of the flow-power map of the Laguna Verde power plant; Reproduccion del mapa flujo-potencia de la Central Laguna Verde

Abstract

The National Commission of Nuclear Safety and Safeguards (CNSNS) requires to have calculation tools which allows it to make analysis independent of the behavior of the reactor core of Laguna Verde nuclear power plant (CNLV) with the purpose to support the evaluation and discharge activities of the fuel recharges licensing. The software package Fms (Fuel Management System) allows to carry out an analysis of the core of the BWR type reactors along the operation cycle to detect possible anomalies and/or helping in the fuel management. In this work it is reproduced the flow-power for the CNLV using the Presto code of the Fms software package. The comparison of results with the map used by the operators of CNLV shows good agreement between them. Another exercise carried out was the changes study that the axial and radial power outlines undergo as well as the thermohydraulic parameters (LHGR, APLHGR, CPR) when moving a control rod. The obtained results show that is had the experience to effect analysis of the reactor behavior using the Presto-Fms code therefore the study of the rest of the software package for the obtention of nuclear parameters used in this code is recommended.
