Preparation of the Stand-alone TRACE Model for NEACRP-L335 Benchmark

Abstract

This study is a part of developing thermal-hydraulic model of Control Rod Ejection Benchmark – NEACRP-L335, which is necessary for performing coupled calculation together with reactor core simulator PARCS. Simplified model based on basic TRACE components is done and results of steady state convergence are given within this study. Brief description of thermalhydraulic code TRACE is provided along with the model definition and TRACE components.
