Fall 2017 CAMP Meeting,

University of Michigan, MI, Ann Arbor, USA, 28 - 30. 11. 2017

CAMP (Code Applications and Maintenance Program) is a research program under the auspices of the US NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) since 1993. Within the framework of the CAMP research program, the development and exchange of experience regarding the RELAP5 and TRACE system software programs, the PARCS neutron program and the SNAP graphic interface are under way. In the CAMP, based on an agreement with the U.S. NRC currently participates in more than 20 countries. “Jožef Stefan” Institute (JSI) is the coordinator for Slovenia (besides the IJS, the Nuclear Power Plant Krško and the Slovenian Nuclear Safety Administration also participate).

The CAMP Autumn Meeting was divided into two parts: technical and programmatic. In the technical part, the U.S. NRC presented the development status of U.S. NRC computer programs TRACE, RELAP5, PARCS and SNAP. Reports of nine CAMP member countries (Finland, Croatia, South Korea, Canada, Poland, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland and Taiwan) followed. The IJS presented the contribution:

  • "Status of CAMP Activities in Slovenia" by Andrej Prošek.

18 technical reports were presented, related to the use of computer programs RELAP5, TRACE and PARCS. Within the program part of the CAMP meeting, we discussed the need for further development of system programs for the simulation of nuclear facilities and proposals for contributions in kind. JSI proposed a contribution in kind for the year 2018 entitled "Semiscale S-NC-02 and S-NC-03 natural circulation tests performed by RELAP5 / MOD3.3 Patch 5", which was approved by the technical program committee.

This year's CAMP autumn meeting, held from 28-30 November 2017 at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA, was organized by the University of Michigan, the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Science under the auspices of the U.S. NRC. Nearly 50 representatives from 16 countries attended the meetings, of which one third from the host country. From the JSI, Reactor Engineering Division, the meeting was attended by dr. Andrej Prošek.
