Main Principles of <strong>STACY</strong><br />

• Calculation of CP failure fractions <strong>and</strong> FP release rates for a large number<br />

of individual tracer pebbles<br />

‣ Spatially resolved fission product release rates<br />

‣ More precise (less conservative) calculation of <strong>to</strong>tal release rate<br />

• Usage of st<strong>and</strong>-alone codes as an intermediate step:<br />

• VSOP: neutron flux <strong>and</strong> fluid temperature distributions under NOC<br />

• MGT: accident temperature distributions<br />

• Fuel shuffling is modelled so far after stream tube model in VSOP<br />
