Abstract

Calculation methods for evaluating safety of nuclear power plants has been enhanced by developing and validating both thermal hydraulic system codes APROS and TRACE and models in CFD code Fluent. Several experiments in national and international research programs have been calculated and results have compared with measured data. The validation cases has been chosen according the safety relevance of the studied phenomena and taking in account the specific features of the new plant concepts offered to Finnish utilities.
