Use of the DSNP simulation language in high-seed dynamic simulation of nuclear power plants

This paper focuses on two possible DSNP applications in high-speed dynamic simulation of nuclear power plants. Because of the high-level language drawback, it is not designed for high-speed simulation purposes, which was stated very clearly in its development objective. To overcome this shortcoming by using parallel processing, and considering the advantages of a high-level reactor simulation language and the supporting language for the array processor, it will be profitable to use DSNP to generate backbone FORTRAN programs and then to tailor the FORTRAN programs to accommodate the calling program to the array processor. The preliminary results of this approach are shown. Another possible way of exploring the features of SEASNET with the application of DSNP is to (a) prepare the DSNP source program on a PC/AT or PC/RT (more preferable); (b) compile, link, and execute on the server machine, IBM 4381 or FPS-164; and (c) receive the computing results and display graphically with the aid of a graphics package running on a PC/AT or PC/RT. The dynamics of a pressurized water reactor (PWR) nuclear power plant are simulated.
