27.09.2017

The 57th regular meeting of the Expert Council on Software Certification under Rostechnadzor has been held devoted to Session No.1 “Neutronic Calculations”.

Representatives from 18 nuclear-related scientific and technical organizations, the leading higher education establishments, as well as the institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences took part in the Meeting.

NPP specialists participated in the videoconference meeting.

The Session has addressed the findings of the review of the neutronic module of “EUCLID/V1.2” code (IBRAE RAN), intended for computational simulation of steady-state conditions, transients and emergency modes of fast neutron reactor installations with liquid metal coolant. The results of the “EUCLID/V1.2” code verification and validation in the field of neutronic calculations were recognized by the Session participants as satisfactory.

The positive evaluation of the Session was also given to the results of verification and validation of MCU-RBMK code with the data preparation channel KDMK (OJSC VNIIAES) and GENIFER (JSC NIKIET). The code was recommended by the Session to be certified for neutronic calculation of the RBMK reactor based on the Monte Carlo method.

The Session members accepted the following codes for review: “TDMCC” code (RFNC-VNIIEF), “PRIZMA” (Version 2017)” (RFNC-VNIITF), “KATRIN 2.5” (OKB “Gidropress” and the Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics (Russian Academy of Sciences)), “PRIZMA 1.4” and “PRIZMA 2.0” (JSC NIKIET). The Session participants also recommended extending the duration of validity of the certificates for the following codes: “MCU -REA2”, “SVC”, “SVL”, “SVS-kr” (NRC “Kurchatov Institute”).

More detailed information about these codes is presented on SEC NRS website under the tab Software Review.
