ABSTRACT
This paper introduces
a powerful design and analysis tool named SIMCAT,
that is developed to
support applications to license a CANDU nuclear reactor, refurbish projects,
and support the existing CANDU stations. It consists of the CATHENA (Canadian Algorithm for Thermo-Hydraulic Network Analysis), the control logics from C6SIM
(CANDU 6
Analytical Simulator), and a communication protocol, PVM (parallel virtual
machine). This is the first time that CATHENA has been
successfully coupled directly with a program written in another language. The independence of CATHENA and the C6SIM controllers
allows the development of both CATHENA and C6SIM controller to proceed
independently.
