Light water reactor fuel analysis code FEMAXI-7; Model and structure (Revised edition)

Suzuki, Motoe; Saito, Hiroaki*; Udagawa, Yutaka  ; Amaya, Masaki  

A light water reactor fuel analysis code FEMAXI-7 has been developed as the latest version for the purpose of analyzing the fuel behavior in both normal conditions and anticipated transient conditions. In FEMAXI-7, many new models have been added and parameters have been clearly arranged. Also, to facilitate effective maintenance and accessibility of the code, modularization of subroutines and functions have been attained, and quality comment descriptions of variables or physical quantities have been incorporated in the source code. This report is the revised edition of the first one, JAEA-Data/Code 2010-035, which describes in detail the design, basic theory and structure, models and numerical method, and improvements and extensions. The first edition was extended by orderly addition and disposition of explanations of models and organized as this revised edition after three years interval.
