[en] This paper presents the results of TRANSURANUS code testing for modelling the Behaviour of WWER nuclear fuel in LOCA accident conditions. The code was tested using data of the IAEA Coordinated Research Project Fuel Modelling in Accident Conditions (FUMAC). Fuel pins of Westinghouse and TVEL design are currently relevant for Ukrainian NPPs. Fuel from both vendors is presented in the FUMAC project. A part of the experimental data (MTA-EK data, IFA 650.10, IFA 650.11 and Studsvik 192&198) was simulated at SSTC NRS. Some of these data sets and KIT QUENCH-L1 set were calculated by other teams using the TRANSURANUS code (INRNE, Bulgaria; JRC, Germany). TRANSURANUS code demonstrated good capabilities for predicting the Behaviour of nuclear fuel rod cladding. The predicted cladding geometry and time of burst for both general types of cladding (Westinghouse and TVEL) show good correlations with the experimental data for such regimes. In addition, experimental data of the FUMAC project contained the results of post irradiation measurements after operation in a commercial reactor. These data were used to test TRANSURANUS code capabilities for modelling the fuel rod Behaviour in the core under burnup. (author)

[en] Results of calculation assessment of positive reactivity insertion rate are presented under condition of simultaneous effect on reactivity of two provided by WWER project reactivity operation systems - extract of regulation group and decrease of boron acid concentration. Showed that maximal positive reactivity insertion rate is achieved at hot zero power and it's too less than limit value 0.07βeff/sec defined by normative document 'Nuclear safety regulation of NPP with pressurized water reactors'. For given reasons concluded that necessity of application of the extended protection PZ-2 actuation time is absent on interval of pure condensate transportation for full exclusion of possibility of positive reactivity insertion simultaneously by two different operation systems.

[en] Results of calculation study of transient connected with drop of WWER-1000 cluster of working group are presented. Transient was considered in the mode of automatic power control without forming of warning protection signal due to reaching of dropped cluster of core bottom. Calculations are shown that given transient can cause valuable distortion of power distribution in axial direction. At that main increase of pin power is occurred in upper part of the core, whereas power in lower part is almost not changed. The additional increase of power in the upper part of core makes conditions for initiation of DNB. This effect can be observed if in initial state axial power distribution is displaced in upper part of core nearby to rest of supported power clusters of working group. It is necessary to define conservatively with taking into account assumed working group efficiency-in which row from extracted clusters of working group the displacement of axial power in the upper part is possible. Probability of such displacement and its localization in plane of core must be properly analyzed. The work was performed in framework of orders BMU SR 2511 and BMU R0801504 (SR2611). The report describes the opinion and view of the contractor-State Scientific and Technical Centre on Nuclear and Radiation Safety-and does not necessarily represent the opinion of the ordering party - BMU-BfS/GRS and TUEV SUED.

[en] This paper describes results of testing of the TRANSURANUS burn-up model (TUBRNP routine) for Gd-doped WWER-1000 fuel pin based on results of HELIOS code. The testing covers the analysis of different types of nuclear fuel rods from a neutronic point of view that one can encounter in the VVER-1000 reactor core. The HELIOS computations simulate the assembly geometry, and combine 4 different "2"3"5U enrichment configurations with 4 different Gd_2O_3-concentrations. For each of these combinations the radial distribution of the concentrations of "1"5"5Gd and "1"5"7Gd compute in one Gd-doped rod. Based on these results the recommendations on using cross section of Gd in TRANSURANUS TUBRNP model were proposed. (author)

[en] For many years SSTC NRS actively participates in licensing of fuel reloading and in the implementation of new nuclear fuel types at the nuclear power plants in Ukraine. Results of the nuclear fuel use for last years are presented in the paper. The results are based on NPP documentation submitted for licensing to the regulating body of Ukraine and based on our estimations and independent calculations. The first part of the paper contains a brief characteristic of the fuel cycles at Ukrainian NPPs. Types of loaded fuel are described also. Experience of new fuel type implementation is presented (Westinghouse FA and TVSA-12 for WWER-1000 reactors). The next part of the paper presents a new regulatory document under development and further new fuel implementation (WWER-1000 reactors). The last part of the paper describes some issues with fuel use. (authors) Keywords: WWER, TVSA, TVSA-12, TVS-W, TVS-WR, Westinghouse, NPP

[en] Three-dimensional code DYN3D is widely used for the calculation of steady states and transients in light water reactors with hexagonal fuel assemblies like VVER. The capability of pin-by-pin power calculation is implemented in the code through an intranodal power reconstruction approach. The calculations of pin power distribution using DYN3D were performed for AER MIDICORE benchmark for the validation of given extension and developed cross-section library. MIDICORE VVER-1000 core periphery power distribution benchmark was proposed on the 20th Symposium of AER. It is a 2D calculation benchmark based on the VVER-1000 core cold state geometry taking into account the geometry of explicit radial reflector. The main issue of MIDICORE benchmark is to provide the reference solution for the validation of pin-by-pin power distribution at the VVER-1000 core periphery calculated by few-group diffusion codes.Various 3D neutron kinetics nodal solvers HEXNEM1, HEXNEM2 and HEXNEM3 are used in DYN3D for neutron flux distribution calculation. The AER MIDICORE benchmark was solved using all solvers implemented in DYN3D with regard to the three most representative fuel assemblies. Considered fuel assemblies are placed both in the inner part and in the peripheral part of the core, and contain the pin with integrated gadolinium burnable absorber. This paper provides results of comparing the effective multiplication factor, assembly-wise power distribution and pin-by-pin power distribution calculated by DYN3D with benchmark data. (author)

[en] Results of assessment of burnup history effect by moderator density on neutron physical characteristics of WWER-1000 core are presented on example of stationary fuel loading with Russian design fuel assembly TWSA and AER benchmark for Khmelnitsky NPP that was proposed by TUV and SSTC NRC at nineteenth symposium. Assessment was performed by DYN3D code and cross section library sets generated by HELIOS code. Burnup history was taken into account by preparing of numerous cross section sets with different isotopic composition each of which was obtained by burning under different moderator density. For analysis of history effect 20 cross section sets were prepared for each fuel assembly corresponded to each of 20 axial layers of reactor core model for DYN3D code. Four fuel cycles were modeled both for stationary fuel loading with TWSA and AER benchmark for Khmelnitsky NPP to obtain steady value of error due to neglect of burnup history effect. Main attention of study was paid to effect of burnup history by moderator density to axial power distribution. Results of study for AER benchmark were compared with experimental values of axial power distribution for fuel assemblies of first, second, third and fourth year operation. (Authors)
