Reactor models sorted by simulation tool used
While every advanced reactor has unique characteristics, with different coolants, fuel shapes or control mechanisms, most NEAMS tools are at their core rather reactor-agnostic and thus there are many similarities in the input files. The reader may find below an index of the codes used in the input files of the virtual test bed.
The codes required to run these inputs are all open-source. Please refer to the documentation or the indexing below for the codes used. Part of the inputs not listed here may be run with open-source codes as well.
- Reflector bypass flow in the PB-FHR documentation and inputs
- Molten Salt Fast Reactor core CFD documentation and inputs
- HTGR assembly multiphysics simulation documentation and inputs
- Sodium Fast Reactor duct bowing documentation and inputs
- HTGR pebble bed Large Eddy Simulation with conjugate heat transfer documentation and inputs
- Thermochimica Steady-State Model of Molten Salt Fast Reactor Core documentation and inputs
Some of the codes required to run these inputs are open-source. You will not be able to run the full multiphysics simulation, but often by removing the [MultiApps] and [Transfers] blocks, you should be able to run part of the problem standalone. Please refer to the documentation or the indexing below for the codes used.
- Molten Salt Fast Reactor (using MOOSE Navier-Stokes) documentation and inputs
- Versatile Test Reactor core model documentation and inputs
- High Temperature Test Facility transient simulations (core conduction) documentation and inputs
- Lotus Molten Chloride Reactor Steady State Model (using MOOSE Navier-Stokes) documentation and inputs
- Molten Salt Reactor Experiment RZ multiphysics core model documentation and inputs
Multiphysics models will often require access to multiple applications linked or built together, that can run inputs for each code involved. Licensing for coupled applications (BlueCRAB and Direwolf) and their export-controlled (Griffin, SAM, Bison, etc) components can be obtained through INL's NCRC.
