Abstract
The fundamental objective of the project is to continue
the development of the truly independent transient
calculation system concentrating on three-dimensional
reactor dynamics computer codes and thermal hydraulics
models, which can be utilized by the safety authority and
other end-users for safety analyses. During the first
half of the SAFIR2010 programme, the main emphasis has
been on the subtasks related to internal coupling of
TRAB-3D neutronics and SMABRE hydraulics, and the
development of the 3D thermal hydraulics model based on
the porous medium approach. Participation in
international work groups and benchmark activities has
provided crucial support for the development work.
Education of new experts has, as always, been a priority.
