Panel Discussion on CANDU Thermalhydraulics
The conference featured a panel session on “Current Knowledge and Areas for Improvement in CANDU Reactor Thermalhydraulics Simulations”.
The panel session was organized by Dr. Yujun Guo, [Bio] Technical Specialist of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission.
Five expert panelists made brief presentations covering the following sub topics essential to CANDU reactor thermalhydraulics simulations:
- Experiments in support of CANDU reactor thermalhydraulics simulations (Mr. Gordon Hadaller, President of Stern Laboratories) [Bio]
- Data analysis and development of prediction methods for major reactor thermalhydraulic parameters (Dr. Jun Yang, [Bio] Canadian Nuclear Laboratories)
- Development and improvement of computer codes (Dr. Nusret Aydemir, [Bio] Canadian Nuclear Laboratories)
- Verification and validation of prediction methods and computer codes (Dr. Yuksel Parlatan, [Bio] Ontario Power Generation)
- Quantification of simulation uncertainties (Prof. Maria Avramova, [Bio] North Carolina State University)
A discussion between panelists and the audience followed the presentations.
