Multi-processor based accident analysis using PVM

摘要

Current accident analysis codes concentrate on either the reactor vessel or containment system of a nuclear plant. These codes can be used to predict primary or containment system response to an accident scenario. Using these separate code calculations, it is very difficult to accurately model the interaction between the primary and containment systems. The development of an integrated accident analysis capability using the Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) software system running on IBM RS/6000 workstations will be presented.
