INES - SAM: A Modern System Analysis Tool for Advanced non-LWR Safety Analyses - Rui Hu (ANL)

This talk will provide an overview of a modern system analysis tool, SAM, under development at Argonne National Laboratory for advanced non-LWR safety analysis. A brief introduction of reactor safety analysis and the modeling needs for advanced non-light water reactors designs will be provided. The underlying physics models, solution schemes, and key modeling features in SAM will be discussed, followed by a few example simulations of advanced reactor transient analysis.
