“…For example, a superheated steam can be produced easily due to the once through helical type steam generator which has a relatively large heat transfer area. The passive safety system such as a passive residual heat removal system (PRHRS) removes the possibility of operator mistakes during a long term cooling (Lee et al, 2009). A large volume of the primary coolant enlarges the operating and transient margins; hence enhances the reliability of the reactor safety.…”

An advanced integral pressurized water reactor, SMART (System-Integrated Modular Advanced ReacTor) has been developed by KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research and Institute). The purposes of the SMART are sea water desalination and an electricity generation. For the safety evaluation and performance analysis of the SMART, TASS/SMR-S (Transient And Setpoint Simulation/Systemintegrated Modular Reactor) code, has been developed.In this paper, the gap conductance model for the calculation of gap conductance has been validated by using another system code, MARS code, and experimental results. In the validation, the behaviors of fuel temperature and gap width are selected as the major parameters. According to the evaluation results, the TASS/SMR-S code predicts well the behaviors of fuel temperatures and gap width variation, compared to the MARS calculation results and experimental data.
