Who’s in the running for DOE Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses?
Today is the Department of Energy’s deadline for states to respond to a request for information on proposed Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses. Issued on January 28, the RFI marks the first step toward potentially establishing voluntary federal-state partnerships designed to build a coherent, end-to-end nuclear fuel cycle strategy for the country, including waste management, according to the DOE.

In order to enhance the capability to perform realistic analyses of the core neutronic behavior and the plant system dynamics in respect of accidents with asymmetric core power such as main team line break (MSLB), a three-dimensional reactor kinetics model has been incorporated into a system thermal-hydraulic (T/H) code. In this study, we developed a PARCS core model for coupling with a TRACE 3D T/H model for the reactor vessel and performed a steady-state calculation prior to a MSLB accident for the Advanced Power Reactor-1400 plant.
