CYNOD: A Neutronics Code for Pebble Bed Modular Reactor Coupled Transient Analysis

In this paper, a new neutron kinetics solver for cylindrical R-Z geometry, CYNOD, is presented for the simulation of coupled transient problems for pebble bed reactors. The code utilizes the Direct Coarse Mesh Finite Difference method, in which a set of one-dimensional equations in each transverse direction is solved by means of the analytic Green’s function method. A method that deals with control rod cusping problems is also presented. A heterogeneous fuel kernel model is implemented in order to accurately take into account Doppler feedback effects. Numerical results that demonstrate the accuracy of the code are also presented.Copyright © 2008 by ASME
