Description
The GEFEST800 code has been developed to carry out neutronic calculations of nu-clear power plant operation for sodium cooled fast breeder reactor BN-800 (stationary and transient from minimum controllable power level to full reactor power with drive control rods and fuel burning). The code allows to calculate the following parameters: keff; maximum reac-tivity reserve; effective reactivity of control rods and control rod groups; full, specific and lin-ear power of energy release in fuel assemblies; unevenness coefficients of energy release in fuel assemblies and reactor core; damaging irradiation dose for fuel assemblies; burning; reac-tivity coefficients; effective fraction of delayed neutrons; transient processes characteristics; decay energy release and many other parameters.
The code has diffusion, transport and Monte-Carlo modules. The CONSYST code with ABBN-93 library is used for constants' preparation. The code has thermomechanical module to take into account changes in the size of the cells. The presence of such module al-lows to consider these changes in calculations of reactivity coefficients at different power lev-els. Services such as calculated parameters control, graphics, data preparation, analysis of cal-culated results are provided in interactive mode using specially developed graphical shell.
Some results of using the code at the initial stage of NPP operation with BN-800 are presented in the paper.
