JAEA has developed a platform JAMPAN for multi-physics simulations, has improved a neutronics analysis code, and has improved and validated thermal-hydraulics analysis codes to improve the design and the safety of light water reactors. The objective is implementing the coupling modules between the neutronics code MVP and the thermal-hydraulics code JUPITER, and verifying the modules. A fuel bundle geometry under a normal operation condition of a BWR was used for the neutronics and thermal-hydraulics coupling simulation to verify the modules. In this presentation, we will explain how to send and receive data between MVP and JUPITER through JAMPAN and show the results of the neutronics/thermal-hydraulics coupling simulations using MVP and JUPITER.
