Safety related Calculations: Thermal Hydraulic Building Analyses

Main description

In the context of lifetime extensions under challenging climate conditions, margins in existing designs are precious to be quantified and capitalized.  Thermal Hydraulic (T/H) building analyses provide evidence to safety authorities, that civil structures of nuclear island buildings are sufficiently designed to withstand loads due to mass and energy release from high energy pipe breaks.

Framatome performs T/H building analyses with in-house code WAVCO or with commercial code GOTHIC. The codes provide enhanced interfaces to 3D models, support input deck generation as well as pre- and post processing tools to ease the update of input decks. All enable our customers to follow-up the evolution of the design in various phases
