System analysis codes remains as one of the major disciplines essential for the design and operation of nuclear systems. As advanced nuclear reactor developments are receiving enormous interests worldwide, it is important to develop adequate analysis tools to assess and assure the safety of advanced reactors, which covers a wide range of reactor types. In this workshop, a modern system analysis code SAM will be discussed. Besides the general code introductions, code features for specific phenomena and reactors, code applications to various advanced reactor types will be presented. Demonstrations of code execution and results visualization will also be included in an interactive session.
