Development of the Modal Kinetics Model for the Gentilly-2 G.S.

Abstract

A station specific version of the code SMOKIN is being set up at Hydro-Quebec for the Gentilly-2 Nuclear Generating Station. The original version of the code was developed by Ontario-Hydro and is based on lambda mode expansion of the neutron flux . The code has been restructured, and a full set of the Reactor Regulating System routines is implemented in it. Preliminary results of simulations of Shutdown system #1 and a power manoeuvre from 80% to 100% are presented. A first application to computer assisted training is described.
