New coolants, new fuels: A new generation of university reactors
Here’s an easy way to make aging U.S. power reactors look relatively youthful: Compare them (average age: 43) with the nation’s university research reactors. The 25 operating today have been licensed for an average of about 58 years.

The REPIPE code, a post-processor of the transient thermal-hydraulic computer code RELAP4/ MOD5, was developed to retrieve relevant data from RELAP4 and calculate the time-dependent force exerted on the piping system subjected to pipe rupture. The package of RELAP4/REPIPE forms a tool for both thermal-hydraulic and piping analysis. Both analytical and experimental data of different fluid conditions were used to verify the RELAP4/ REPIPE package. Code-data comparison indicated an overall good code performance.
