Abstract

The last decade has seen the implementation several significant advances in calculational methodologies for CANDU finite-core analysis. Concurrent with these advances, reactor models have become less stylized, more complex and more realistic. The discipline is still witnessing advances in techniques and models. There are on-going incentives to make the simulations ever more realistic and to validate the computer codes and numerical methods. This review paper presents some of the recent developments in which AECL has been involved.
