COMPUTATIONAL MODELLING FOR ADVANCED NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS

现代计算方法在评估核电站的行为和确保它们对公众或环境造成的危害降至最低方面可以是一个非常有价值的工具。这项提议是为了进一步资助研究，以开发这种方法，并通过仔细比较他们的预测与实际测量，建立适当的、稳健的、有效的和经过验证的预测工具。拟议的工作力求通过为对照明确界定的基准案例核查和确认计算工具奠定基础，从而实现这一目标。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.
