BEAGL-01: a computer code for calculating rapid LWR core transients. Volume 2. User's manual

A. Aronson, D.J. Diamond

Abstract

BEAGL-01 is a computer program for calculating the conditions in an LWR core at steady state and while undergoing a transient. It couples a neutron kinetic model in cylindrical (r,z) geometry with a two-phase thermal-hydraulic model for multiple parallel channels. Appropriate applications include reactivity insertion accidents in both pressurized reactors and BWRs and transients in BWRs initiated by perturbations in flow rate, inlet subcooling, or pressure. This volume is a user's manual and contains a description of the input requirements and the output. It also includes sample problem specifications and solutions.
