An automated code assessment program (ACAP) has been developed to provide quantitative comparisons between nuclear reactor systems (NRS) code results and experimental measurements.
As part of the efforts to appraise the new code capabilities, a code assessment was carried out on the hexagonal fuel assembly of a fast supercritical water reactor.
The goal of the survey was to identify needs, issues and techniques to be considered in the development of an automated code assessment procedure, to be used in United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission NRCC) advanced thermal hydraulic T/H code consolidation efforts.
The paper presents the preliminary code assessment process of the modified version of SIMMER-III code for fusion application by means of LIFUS5 Test#3 post-test analyses.
A thermal hydraulic system code is an essential tool for the design and safety analysis of a nuclear power plant, and its accuracy quantification is very important for the code assessment and applications.
It is further pointed out that the simplification of the actual corrosion geometry by constant-depth, as commonly assumed in current code assessment of corroded pipelines, will inevitably underestimate the residual strength of the pipe, especially for the case of deep and wide corrosion.
The screening and design code assessment methods in the new Part will be based on an updated version of the procedures in the ASME B&PV Code, Section VIII, Division 2. The advanced methods will include next generation versions for the fatigue assessment of welded joints, the Master S-N Curve Method as described in WRC 523, and the Verity Fatigue Assessment Method developed by Battelle.
This paper presents the features and capabilities of a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) designed and built by the authors, which is meant to be the reference machine for open data code validation purposes under the project VODCA, VAWT Open Data for Code Assessment.
Cases of T2DM from the RSNC reported in the NPD were extracted based on an ICD-10 code assessment of E11 (non-insulin-dependant diabetes mellitus).
The certificate should specify, among other data, patient's diagnosis (ICD-10 code), assessment of the patient's functional impairment and activity limitation, and recommended length and degree (100%, 75 %, 50 or 25%) or sick leave.
