概要

We developed a plant simulation code system to design and verify an automatic power regulator (APR) system for an advanced boiling water reactor (ABWR). The point kinetic plant simulator AUTSIMU is an off-line and real-time online plant simulation code that can simulate the start-up process from a subcritical condition of cold water to a 100% rated power condition as well as the reactor shutdown process. The three-dimensional effect of neutron detector signals in the core was simulated by combining predetermined three-dimensional analysis and point kinetic analysis results. The AUTSIMU code was tested using ABWR start-up experimental data. The calculated results were in good agreement with the measured ones. Less than one minute was needed in the off-line mode to simulate a ten-hour transient with an ordinary personal computer. We confirmed that simple AUTSIMU models could effectively simulate ABWR start-up behaviors. The APR hardware was effectively verified in the online mode through factory tests before being shipped to the nuclear site.
