VERA Transient Capability to Support ATF/High Burnup Fuel/HALEU Conversion

Research output: Book/ReportCommissioned report

Abstract

The Virtual Environment for Reactor Applications (VERA) was developed under the Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors (CASL). The goal of this new code suite was to provide high-fidelity, whole-core simulation using pin-resolved physics. Extensive steady-state validation of VERA has been performed for reactor cycle depletion simulations and other related simulations. Transient simulations were not a major component of the CASL work; reactivity insertion accidents (RIAs) received most of the focus. However, there are other design basis accidents (DBA) which are of great importance for reactor design and licensing.
