Meeting of Session No.1 “Physics of Nuclear Reactors and Systems with Nuclear Materials, Nuclear Safety, Particle Transport” of Rostechnadzor Expert Council on Validation of Computer Codes”

On March 3, 2020 the scheduled meeting of Session No. 1 “Physics of Nuclear Reactors and Systems with Nuclear Materials, Nuclear Safety” of Rostechnadzor Expert Council on Validation of Computer Codes was held in SEC NRS.

At the meeting of the Session the results of the review of the following computer codes were addressed:

  • “BPSD/V2.1” (IBRAE RAS) designed for calculation of changes in the nuclide composition of fast neutron reactor cores, as well as of the activity and energy release;
  • “CORNER/V1.0” (IBRAE RAS) designed for calculation of fast neutron reactor cores of type BREST-ODU-300, BN-1200 and of their models applying critical assemblies using the solutions of quasi-steady-state equation for transport;
  • “DOLCE VITA/V1.1” (IBRAE RAS) designed for calculation of fast neutron reactors in diffusion multigroup approximation;
  • “NOSTRA (Version 6.0)” (NRC “Kurchatov Institute”) designed for implementation of joint neutronic and thermohydraulic calculations of VVER type reactors.

Moreover, the following computer codes were accepted at the meeting to be reviewed: “TVS-M 2007 (TVS-M Version 1.6)”, “PERMAK 2007 (Version 2)”, “BIPR 2007 (Version 1.1)” (NRC “Kurchatov Institute”) included into the scope of a Complex of Codes for steady state calculation of VVER reactors (KASKAD-2020).

Supplemental information

The Order of Rostechnadzor No. 450 of 20.09.2018 states that SEC NRS implements the activity related to computer codes review.

Rostechnadzor Expert Council on Validation of Computer Codes was formed for the purpose of implementation of Article 8 “Review Procedure of Computer Codes used for the Development of Simulation Models of the Processes which Exert Influence on the Safety of Nuclear Installations and (or) Activities in the Field of Atomic Energy Use” approved by Rostechnadzor Order No. 325 of 30.07.2018 (registered by the Ministry of Justice of Russia on 12.11.2018 under the No. 52650).

Provisions on the Expert Council approved by Rostechnadzor Order No. 655 of 27.12.2018. The Expert Council major tasks are to evaluate the results of review of computer codes, as well as to provide proposals on the content of draft validation certificates for computer codes.
