Hello,
I'll apologize in advance. If
some of you are on more than one mailing list, you may receive this more
than once.
At the Cook Nuclear Plant, our Nuclear
Engineering department is conducting a benchmark to support a self assessment,
and we have developed the following questions.
if you could take a few minutes to answer
the questions, we would appreciate it. You may respond either to
me at wvferguson@aep.com, or to pwrrm@retaqs.com.
thanks,
wvf
Core Performance Tools Questions
I will tabulate the results of this benchmarking
effort and provide a summary of the responses to everyone who responds.
Please respond to the questions
below by 6/3/11, if possible.
1) What
codes do you use to verify / check a vendor-developed core loading pattern?
2) Do
you use a tool to assess the risk of cladding failure due to Pellet Cladding
Interaction (PCI)? If so, which one?
3) What
software tools do you use to measure power distribution limits? (e.g. Beacon,
Incore)
4) Do
you use any other tools or codes for core performance monitoring? If so,
what are they, and what do you use them for?
