Validation of finite element code DELFIN by means of the zero power experiences at the nuclear power plant of Atucha I; Convalidacion del codigo DELFIN por medio de las experiencias a potencia cero de la central nuclear Atucha I

Abstract

Code DELFIN, developed in CNEA, treats the spatial discretization using heterogeneous finite elements, allowing a correct treatment of the continuity of fluxes and currents among elements and a more realistic representation of the hexagonal lattice of the reactor. It can be used for fuel management calculation, Xenon oscillation and spatial kinetics. Using the HUEMUL code for cell calculation (which uses a generalized two dimensional collision probability theory and has the WIMS library incorporated in a data base), the zero power experiences performed in 1974 were calculated. (author). 8 refs., 9 figs., 3 tabs.
