Training on Scaling, Uncertainty, 3-D Coupled Calculations in Nuclear Technology

The 3D SUNCOP training Course was established in the year 2000 at University of Pisa to train and educate scientists in the area of application of thermal-hydraulic to Nuclear Reactor Safety and Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) design. Since the a dozen Course have been held all over the world. Key topics of the course are: • Qualification of codes and of nodalization • Method to quantify the accuracy • Uncertainty methods • Application of uncertainty methods • Licensing and connection with thermal-hydraulics in accident analysis • Coupling between codes, e.g. neutron physic and thermal-hydraulics • Methods to reduce the user effect in code calculation • Database of experiments for code validation
