Abstract

A point reactor neutron kinetics model, a drift-flow U-tube steam generator model, a non-equilibrium three-region pressurizer model and other models were established and a transient analysis code with Visual Fortran 6.5 has been developed to analyze the thermal-hydraulic characteristics of the Chinese advanced pressurized water reactor (AC-600). Visual input, real-time processing and dynamic visualization output were achieved with Microsoft Visual Studio.NET 2003, which greatly facilitate applications in the engineering. The software were applied to analyze the transient thermal-hydraulic characteristics of the loss of feed-water accident, the double loops loss-of-flow accident, the reactivity insertion accident, the sudden increase of feed-water temperature accident and the loss of offsite power accident for the Qinshan nuclear power plant in China. The obtained analysis results are significant to the improvement of design and safety operation of the plant.
