Research on small modular reactors (SMRs) is gaining importance since they are key for addressing energy challenges in various sectors. These types of reactors integrate novel technologies that rely heavily on passive safety systems. Among the most developed light water reactors, SMR designs are SMART and NuScale. This work analyzes the academic boron-free Karlsruhe Small Modular Reactor (KSMR), which may fit in SMART, and a core design resembling NuScale. The research aims to explore the potential of new multiphysics tools under development to predict safety parameters of SMRs during normal operation and transients. For this purpose, the Purdue Advanced Reactor Core Simulator (PARCS) and TWOPORFLOW (TPF) codes have been coupled using the Interface for Code Coupling (ICoCo), orchestrating code execution through a C++ Supervisor program. In this work, a nodewise rod ejection accident (REA) has been analyzed for two different scenarios. The first is a hot-zero-power scenario for the KSMR core, and the second is initiated at 75% of nominal power for the NuScale core. Verification of results has been done though code-to-code comparison. Comparison of the PARCS/TPF results obtained for both KSMR and NuScale with reference cases shows acceptable differences. Key safety parameters predicted by the codes for the REA analysis of both cores have also been evaluated against the latest U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulation for reactivity initiated accidents showing that all parameters fulfill core coolability acceptance criteria and fuel rod cladding failure thresholds. The presented work highlights the transition from the coupling of PARCS with a mixture model code, such as SCF, to a coupling with a two-phase model code, such as TPF. These findings contribute to a better understanding of SMR phenomenology during accidental sequences and demonstrate the capabilities of the coupled codes.
