Software
To assess the safety of various nuclear-hazardous systems, the laboratory has at its disposal modern calculation programs developed by leading institutes in different countries. Such programs include:
MCU— a universal code for numerical modeling of the processes of transfer of various types of radiation (neutrons, gamma quanta, electrons, positrons) in three-dimensional systems using the Monte Carlo method;
SERPENT– a calculation code (based on the Monte Carlo method) designed to calculate burnup, determine the criticality of various systems that contain fissile materials;
SuperMC(Super Multi-functional Calculation Program for Nuclear Design and Safety Evaluation) integrated software system for neutron-physical analysis of nuclear reactors;
DYN3D— the program is designed to study transient and emergency operating modes of VVER reactors in three-dimensional geometry;
ATHLET, ATHLET/CD — расчетные коды для моделирования теплогидравлических процессов в РУ;
ASTEC— an integrated computational code for the analysis of accidents with severe damage to the core;
COCOSYS— calculation code for modeling the development of emergency processes in civil defense;
RiskA is a reliability assessment and probabilistic safety analysis (PSA) program designed for failure mode and effect analysis, fault tree analysis, event tree analysis, uncertainty analysis, sensitivity analysis, importance analysis, reliability analysis including human reliability analysis, web data management, fault diagnosis, risk monitoring, etc.;
The data center provides its computing resources to organizations and divisions of “JIPNR – Sosny”, as well as other research organizations working in various fields of science, technology and education.
