Popis: The CHASHMA Nuclear Power Plant unit 1 is known as CHASNUPP-1. The CHASNUPP-unit 1 is a 996 MWth intermediate type pressurised water reactor that began commercial operation in June 2000 in Pakistan. The CHASNUPP unit 1 is a conventional two loop PWR operated by the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC). The radiological source term of CHASNUPP-1 has been evaluated and compared with the advanced modular reactor (SMART) and KORI-1 reactor. For this purpose, modelling and simulation has been carried out in MATLAB. a kinetic model has been developed to carry out the simulation of the release of radionuclides. The core and coolant activity of CHASNUPP-1 is compared with the similar type reactor KORI-1. The developed model uses the ORIGEN 2.2 core inventory as a subroutine. The coolant inventory has been evaluated with 0.25% fuel damage and compared with SMART and KORI-1 reactor.
