BNL plant-analyzer development
This program is being conducted to develop an engineering plant analyzer capable of performing, in a dedicated facility, accurate real-time and faster than real-time simulations of plant transients and small-break loss of coolant accidents in LWR power plants. The analyzer is required to obtain timely and cost-effective answers to a wide variety of safety questions related to the nuclear steam supply system, the balance of the plant and its control systems, for human factors studies (error rate measurements), for risk assessments. For monitoring continuously the operation of a particular power plant, for the detection of instrument, component or system failures, and for anticipating the consequences from mitigating operator actions following an accident.
