The LOCA Toolkit for U.S. light water reactors (LOTUS) currently under development at Idaho National Labs (INL) is a plug and play, multiphysics environment to be used in support of system level plant transient analysis. New proposed rule changes in

Extending the fuel discharge burnup level, e.g., from the current limit of rod averaged discharge burnup limit of 62 GWD/MT to a proposed new limit of 75 GWD/MT, can provide significant economic benefits to the current fleet of operating light water

Uncertainty quantification (UQ) and sensitivity analyses (SA) are performed for coupled simulations between VERA-CS, a coupled pin resolved neutron transport and subchannel thermal hydraulics code, and the fuel performance code BISON. The interface b

A demonstration and description of the LOCA Toolkit for US light water reactors (LOTUS) is presented. Through LOTUS, the core simulator VERA-CS developed by CASL is coupled with the fuel performance code FRAPCON. The coupling is performed with consis

Accident tolerant fuels (ATFs) such as FeCrAl cladding have been designed to have improved performance in normal operation and provide increased coping time during design basis accidents (DBA) and beyond DBA. A key aspect in the evaluation of ATF des

Increasing the burnup limit from 62 GWd/MTU to 75 GWd/MTU can help increase the cycle length of a typical pressurized water reactor from 18 months to two years or longer. To meet this goal, the fuel enrichment limit must also be increased from 5.0 w/

In this work, we examine a two-equation turbulence model in the flux correction method for three-dimensional turbulent flows on strand grids. Building upon previous work, flux derivatives along strands are treated with high-order summation-by-parts o
