Thermal hydraulic simulations of the Angra 2 PWR

Angra 2, the second Brazilian nuclear power plant, began the commercial operation in 2001. The plant is a pressurized water reactor (PWR) type with electrical output of about 1350 MW. In the present work, the thermal hydraulic RELAP5-3D code was used to develop a model of this reactor. The model was...
