Experimental breeder reactor-II dynamic modeling and code verification

The Experimental Breeder Reactor No. 2 (EBR-II) has been modeled using a recently developed special purpose block oriented simulation language, the Dynamic Simulator for Nuclear Power Plants (DSNP). The purpose of the work was to develop and verify the code and use it to support the Operational Reliability Test Program at EBR-II. Designed to be set up directly from block diagrams of the reactor system, DSNP allows easy interchange of modules which simulate individual components of the plant with differing levels of complexity.
