Development of a real-time interactive physics simulator for the Dalat Nuclear Research Reactor of Vietnam
This paper presents the development of DalatSim, a real-time interactive physics simulator for the Dalat Nuclear Research Reactor (DNRR) in Vietnam. DalatSim is a modified version of RELAP5 that dynamically computes and predicts reactor transients. It integrates a reactor point kinetics solver based on SUNDIALS, which has been validated against published benchmarks. Experimental results confirm the simulator’s effectiveness in modeling operational procedures under normal conditions and hypothetical transient scenarios. Comparisons with recorded DNRR power data demonstrate strong agreement. The simulator is designed to support operator training, cost-effectiveness education, and the preservation of reactor operational knowledge and experience.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Nuclear Energy provides an international medium for the communication of original research, ideas and developments in all areas of the field of nuclear energy science and technology. Its scope embraces nuclear fuel reserves, fuel cycles and cost, materials, processing, system and component technology (fission only), design and optimization, direct conversion of nuclear energy sources, environmental control, reactor physics, heat transfer and fluid dynamics, structural analysis, fuel management, future developments, nuclear fuel and safety, nuclear aerosol, neutron physics, computer technology (both software and hardware), risk assessment, radioactive waste disposal and reactor thermal hydraulics. Papers submitted to Annals need to demonstrate a clear link to nuclear power generation/nuclear engineering. Papers which deal with pure nuclear physics, pure health physics, imaging, or attenuation and shielding properties of concretes and various geological materials are not within the scope of the journal. Also, papers that deal with policy or economics are not within the scope of the journal.
