Abstract

The new fuel type in the Research Reactor ‘Maria’ is undergoing a test procedure. Thermalhydraulic calculations using RELAP have been applied in order to cross-check the results obtained using a specialized thermal-hydraulic ‘SN’ code. Nodalization of the fuel element has been developed and calculations have been performed. LOFA and RIA cases have been analysed and compared showing good agreement between the two codes.
