The presentation will also include a description of the recent application of the TRAC/RELAP Advanced Computational Engine (TRACE) code as an independent assessment tool for examination of safety case for research reactors. Also discussed in detail will be the experience gained from this activity, particularly in areas related to testing TRACE code 3D capabilities, numerical method options, code numerical stability, and 3D vessel nodalization options. The presentation will also touch on current and future applications of CAMP codes to CANDU reactors and training new users.
