too many types of reactors, you are supposed to search in www.iaea.org

Hi, guys there is a quesetion: Could ANSYS software be used for simulate system temperature and flow fields when fluid phrase change, such as in steam generators.

If you have some fundamentals in nuclear engineering, I recommend a book THERMAL ANALYSIS OF LIQUID METAL FAST BREEDER REACTOR. And there are some materials in IAEA fast reactor database, such as Russian BN-XXs, French Phoenix and Super Phoenix, American EBR-II ect.

316 stainless steel is always used as fuel clad in LMFBR.

How to design a LMFBR control system. I mean the whole plnat's operation and reactor control system.

Make it clear. What questions do you want to ask ?

Yes, none of them were constructed. But some were designed. CRBRP's design efficiency was 35.9%, what is from page 24 of THEMAL ANALYSIS OF LMFBR.

Generally speaking, LMFBR and HTGR's efficient are higher than PWR and HWR.

Yes, finer time step and interation

There are more radioactive materials such as coolant, structure and fuel material. It's more radioactive than nuclear weapon in amount.

Only stupid china government paid for AP1000 and other russian reactors.

It's not "the best". Definition of "the best" is moderating ratio, so liquid D2 maybe "the best". D2 is gaseous state in environmental temperature. When D2 is compressed into liquid state, it would be "the best".

Thank you for your reply. I'm interested in fast reactor power plant's operation software, especially the operation mode simulation software and thermal/ analysis software.

Nobody knows that ?

Are there some kind of software for nuclear power plant (PWR and other plant type like LMFBR) operation simulation/analysis software, not safety analysis software like RELAP and TRAC ? If you know, please tell me !
