Number of employees
Researcher: 1 person
Recruitment theme
"Databasing on a virtual nuclear power plant for evaluating inverse problems of accidental conditions"
It is planned to estimate conditions, such as distribution of debris heat generation for Units 1 to 3 of Fukushima-Daiichi, resolving reverse problems in which CFD code analysis results with various assumptions are compared with measured data so that realistic assumptions can be deduced. It is also expected to reflect data of plant inspection by robots and other means. With these efforts, physical models for each unit and analytical results can be obtained. Under this theme, it is required to review these models and analytical results confirming their appropriateness and integrate them into a systematic database which will serve as a virtual nuclear reactor.
(This work will be conducted as part of JFY2014 supplementary budget “subsidiary fund for Project of Decommissioning and Contaminated Water Management (Upgrading level of grasping state inside reactor)”)
