Development of V2UP (Verification & Validation plus Uncertainty quantification and Prediction) procedure; Implementation of quality management process for modeling and simulation V&V

Tanaka, Masaaki  

In the development of the simulation code and the numerical estimation for high cycle thermal fatigue on a structure caused by thermal striping phenomena in sodium cooled fast reactors, implementation of verification and validation (V&V) process is indispensable. A procedure named V2UP (Verification and Validation plus Uncertainty quantification and Prediction) has been made by referring to the existing guidelines regarding the V&V published by AESJ. In this presentation, installation of quality management procedures into the V2UP procedure is attempted based on the existing standard regarding guidelines of quality management system.
