COMPUTATIONAL MODELLING FOR ADVANCED NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS

现代计算方法可以成为评估核电站行为的非常有价值的工具，并确保它们对公众或环境的危害最小。该提案旨在为进一步研究提供资金，以开发此类方法，并通过将其预测与实际测量进行仔细比较，建立适当、稳健、有效和有效的预测工具。拟议的工作旨在实现这一目标，通过开发一个基础，对定义明确的基准情况下的计算工具的验证和确认。它还寻求开发先进的计算方法，以解决正常运行和故障条件下的问题，以及调查严重事故情况下系统行为的各个方面。

Modern computational methods can be a very valuable tool in assessing the behaviour of nuclear power stations, and ensuring that they present minimal hazard to either the public or the environment. This proposal is to fund research further to develop such methods, and by careful comparison of their predictions with actual measurements, establish predictive tools that are appropriate, robust, efficient and validated. The work proposed seeks to achieve this by developing a basis for the verification and validation of computational tools against well-defined benchmark cases. It also seeks to develop advanced computational methods to address problems in normal operation and fault conditions, as well as to investigate aspects of system behaviour in severe accident situations.
