Projects ListNuclear Power Plant's ECCS
When a Nuclear Power Plant required a detailed flow model of their Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS), Archon Engineering provided the model using AFT's Fathom flow analysis software. The ECCS is comprised of numerous systems that must operate during a design basis event in order to safely shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shut down condition.
The final model contained more than 600 individual junctions (pumps, tanks, valves, etc.) and more than 700 pipes connecting these junctions. The complex model allows the owner to evaluate different flow scenarios and their effects on each of the individual systems and components.
