A sodium-water reaction analysis code SERAPHIM has been developed to evaluate tube failure accident in a steam generator of sodium-cooled fast reactors. In this study, an unstructured mesh-based numerical method was applied to the SERAPHIM code to advance a numerical accuracy. The basic validity of the proposed method was confirmed.
