BEPU-FSAR : establishing a background for extension of V&V principles to non-thermal-hydraulic codes

Nuclear thermal hydraulic and accident analysis are based in 3 pillar activities, which consists in: Scaling, Coupling and V&V. Each of them are establish technology, whit key documents to describe and widely used. The final goal of this work is to apply the BEPU methodology in all parts of FSAR where analytical techniques are needed and for that the crucial step is the transfer of the BEPU concepts into the other areas. In this sense, the issue is how to adapt to other disciplines the pillar activities presented in the thermal hydraulic area. For that we need to identified which elements can be applied in the other areas, to show that the propose methodology is feasible. For now, this work aims to show that the V&V elements, currently done for thermal-hydraulic codes, can be also done for different codes, which are used to perform different analysis include on a FSAR of a generic plant.
