Benchmarks and test facilities of VVER reactors
Šimek, Ondřej ; Foral, Štěpán (referee) ; Vojáčková, Jitka (advisor)
The aim of this bachelor’s thesis is to describe the topic of benchmarks and test facilities for pressurized water reactors of the eastern concept VVER type. The theoretical part introduces the VVER type reactors, their history, the development of separate generations, including fundamental differences and parameters of the VVER type reactors being used so far. Next two chapters of the theoretical part focus on nuclear safety and security, describing the uppermost Czech authorities, which are SÚJB, MAAE and NEA. Furthermore, many terms concerning nuclear safety are explained in these two chapters. The next chapter is focused on deterministic safety analyzes, their classification, methods and purposes. The aim of this part is also to explain the verification and validation of computing codes. The next chapter offers insight into test facilities which are crucial for evaluation and testing of nuclear devices and computing codes. The last chapter of the theoretical part focuses on the VVER type reactor benchmarks. The practical part of this thesis presents the conversion of a single AER Benchmark FCM_001 using neutron physical code PARCS. The results are compared to the results of CRONOS computing code.

Graphical processing of VVER 1000 simulation results
Kiš Bandi, Peter ; Novotný, Filip (referee) ; Vojáčková, Jitka (advisor)
This bachelor thesis describes core design of nuclear reactor VVER 1000 and deals with processing of results calculated by neutronics code PARCS in SNAP application suite. Nowadays, while designing or modifying nuclear reactor, it is very important to verify behavior of newly designed or modified parts in anticipation. For this purpose there are various computing programmes designed especially for these computations. However, to work with them is necessary to be familiar with the construction of the reactor core, because it is important to understand the results of the calculations. These can be shown either in form of text files or or processed into form of graphs and animations using various applications, in this case in SNAP application suite.

Computational analysis of pressurized water reactor core behaviour using PARCS code
Novotný, Filip ; Ing. Jan Frýbort, Ph.D., KJR FJFI ČVUT v Praze (referee) ; Katovský, Karel (advisor)
The Master Thesis performs search concerning advanced small and medium power light-water reactors’ designs, including different possibilities to gain a license for their development and operation. The work covers the principal theory about the area of neutronics calculations, principal equations and simplifications. There are several different methods for solution of neutronics calculations. The thesis gives an overview of two principal groups of codes – deterministic methods and Monte Carlo method. The survey shows computational codes examples based on mentioned methods. The computational code PARCS is chosen for further study, which contained description of the input and output file, process of the model creation and conditions for neutronics calculation the of selected reactor design. Based on these facts, the transient calculation has been prepared within the thesis. Thee analyses are described – reactor emergency shutdown, reactor shutdown with stuck group of control and emergency shutdown rods and reactor shutdown with faulty reaction of emergency shutdown rods.

The Process of Cross Section Generation for Reactor Core Simulations
Novotný, Filip
Reactor core safety analysis is a complex problem and needs processed input data and cannot be performed without it. For this purpose several nuclear programs exist. A suitable nuclear programs as well as the motivation of the generation are given in this study. This article also summarizes methods and steps needed for the homogenized cross-section generation and provides basic instruction and settings needed to provide these simulations and accomplished this research and gives basic instruction and information about problems and programs which can occur during the cross-section generation. Finally, there is proposed cross-sections structure suitable for safety analysis with reactor core simulator PARCS.

Simulation of rod ejection accident byPARCS code
Matějková, J.
This paper describes reactor core model used for simulating REA. The model was designed in PARCS utilizing graphical interface SNAP. The data for model were given from benchmark NEACPR L-335. The PARCS model used integrated thermal hydraulic block for calculation. The results and solution is shown in the paper. Thermal hydraulic calculation can also be provided by external system code TRACE. The PARCS model is prepared to couple with TRACE model for giving more accurate calculation.
