Spring 2018 CAMP meeting, Ottawa, Canada, 28.5. - 30.5.2018

CAMP (Code Applications and Maintenance Program) is the largest research program under the auspices of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (U.S. NRC) since 1993. Within the framework of the CAMP research program, the development and exchange of experience on system software RELAP5 and TRACE, neutronics program PARCS and graphical interface SNAP take place. In the CAMP, based on an agreement with the U.S. NRC, administrative bodies, research organizations and industry representatives from more than 20 countries are involved. Coordinator for Slovenia is the "Jožef Stefan" Institute (JSI) (in addition to JSI, Krško Nuclear Power Plant and the Slovenian Nuclear Safety Administration are participating).

The CAMP Spring Meeting was divided into two parts, namely technical and program part. In the technical part, the development of the RELAP5 and TRACE programs was first presented. Then, several CAMP countries (Belgium, Canada, Spain, South Korea, Slovenia) presented their reports. The JSI presented the contribution:

  • "Status of CAMP activities in Slovenia" (Andrej Prošek, Janez Kokalj).

The status reports on the NRC programs TRACE, PARCS, RELAP5 and SNAP followed. Finally, technical reports were presented.

Within the program part of the CAMP meeting, we discussed the need for further development of computer programs and tools for simulation of nuclear installations, as well as proposals for contributions in kind, which are a requirement for all participants in the CAMP.

This year's CAMP Spring Meeting, which was held from 28 - 30 May 2018 in Ottawa, Canada, was organized by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Agency (CNSC). Approximately 30 representatives attended the meetings. Janez Kokalj attended the meeting from the JSI, Reactor Engineering Division.
