Method for analyzing severe accident at nuclear power plant by using modular analysis code

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for analyzing a severe accident at a nuclear power plant by using a modular analysis code, comprising the step of: receiving the input of a nuclear power plant to be analyzed and an accident sequence; selecting, from a modular analysis code, an individual module for analyzing a severe accident that is triggered by the accident sequence; setting an accident simulation variable for simulating the severe accident from a nuclear power plant input model; determining whether the accident simulation variable is valid; and, if determined to be valid, analyzing the severe accident through the modular analysis code by using the accident simulation variable, wherein the individual module of the modular analysis code includes: a master module; a first module for analyzing in-core phenomena in the event of a severe accident; a second module for analyzing ex-core phenomena in the event of a severe accident; and a third module for analyzing behaviors of fission products in the event of a severe accident by using in-core thermal-hydraulic information and ex-core thermal-hydraulic information calculated by the first module and the second module, and information movement among the first module, the second module, and the third module is achieved through the master module.
