[1] presenta una aplicación del formalismo diferencial de la teoría de perturbación a un modelo termohidráulico homogéneo de simulación del comportamiento estacionario de uno de los generadores de vapor de la Central Nuclear tipo PWR Angra I del Brasil. Se desarrolla un programa de cálculo PERGEVAP tomando como base el código GEVAP de Souza[2]. El programa PERGEVAP permite realizar cálculos de sensibilidad de funcionales lineales (temperatura media del primario)y no lineales (flujo de calor medio a través de las paredes de los tubos del generador) con relación a las variaciones de ciertos parámetros termo-hidráulicos(flujo másico del primario, calor específico, etc), Los resultados obtenidos con este formalismo son luego comparados con los obtenidos del cálculo directo con el propio código GEVAP, pudiéndose verificar una excelente concordancia. Este método se muestra promisorio para efectuar cálculos repetitivos asociados al diseño y análisis de Seguridad de los componentes de las Centrales Nucleares. Descriptores: teoría de perturbación, método diferencial, sensibilidad, generador de vapor, central nuclear PWR. ABSTRACT This report presents an application of the differential approach of the perturbation theory to an homogeneous model of a PWR steam generator in the Angra 1 Nuclear Power Plan in Brazil under steady-state conditions. Program PERGEVAP was built fom the code GEVAP developed by Souza and allows sensitivity calculations of linear (average primary loop temperature) and non-linear (average heat flux) functionals due to variations in some thermo-hydraulics parameters (flow rate, specific heat, , etc). Results obtained with this approach are then compared with direct calculations performed using the GEVAP code, with excellent agreements. The method has good potential to treat repeated calculations needed in the design and safety analysis of the Nuclear Plant components. Keywords: perturbation theory, differential method, steam generator, PWR nuclear Power Plant.

The best estimation process of AP1000 Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) requires proper selections of parameters and models so as to obtain the most accurate results compared with the actual design parameters. Therefore, it is necessary to identify and evaluate the influences of these parameters and modeling approaches quantitatively and qualitatively. Based on the best estimate thermal-hydraulic system code RELAP5/MOD3.2, sensitivity analysis has been performed on core partition methods, parameters, and model selections in AP1000 Nuclear Power Plant, like the core channel number, pressurizer node number, feedwater temperature, and so forth. The results show that core channel number, core channel node number, and the pressurizer node number have apparent influences on the coolant temperature variation and pressure drop through the reactor. The feedwater temperature is a sensitive factor to the Steam Generator (SG) outlet temperature and the Steam Generator outlet pressure. In addition, the cross-flow model nearly has no effects on the coolant temperature variation and pressure drop in the reactor, in both the steady state and the loss of power transient. Furthermore, some fittest parameters with which the most accurate results could be obtained have been put forward for the nuclear system simulation.
