OVERVIEW OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT FOR ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF NUCLEAR POWER REACTORS IN MEXICO

摘要

The paper aims to present an overview of the efforts and achievements reached in Mexico to develop a set of software for design and safety analysis for nuclear power reactors by AZTLAN platform project. This project aims to modernize, improve and incorporate the neutronics, thermo-hydraulics and thermomechanical codes developed as result of a joint work between institutions, universities and research institutes in Mexico, in an integrated platform, established and maintained for the benefit of the Mexican Nuclear knowledge. The scope of the software in their initial phase covers their use for training purposes in the regulatory authority as well as universities.
