The research perform the reliability analysis of passive ECCS using a three-dimensional thermal-hydraulic model of the reactor core. The 3D model will be implemented into a CFD code (OpenFOAM) using a porous media approach with distributed heat sources. A new model will be used to calculate the fuel and clad temperature in the core.

Main steps in the internship plan:• literature study on new reactor designs with passive
ECCS, reliability study of passive systems, methods of analysis of passive systems, methods of uncertainty analyses for passive systems
• performance of the analytical model• development of porous media CFD model of a reactor
core, including heat sources due to decay heat• development of a model to calculate the local effective
clad temperature
