Abstract

The development of a systematic methodology for the reduction of uncertainties in transient thermal-hydraulics by using in-bundle measurement data is presented. The adjustment of the system parameters and a time-dependent constrained minimization problem. An on-line (i.e., real time) large scale optimization scheme is also outlined. Although formulated within the framework of reactor safety analysis, the proposed methodology can be directly applied to other areas, for instance to time-dependent fuel cycle optimization and uncertainty analysis.
