STENDB Computer Code
    Authors: Oleg F. Kukharchuk, Alexander P. Barzilov and Boris V. Kachanov
    Programming language: Borland C++
    Computer hardware requirements: IBM PC and compatible, 386 or higher, >4Mb RAM
    Computer software requirements: MS Windows 3.1 or higher, Win32
    Features: Real-time computer simulator of reactor-laser facility "B" for numerical simulation of transient processes for basic operations in pulse and stationary modes, pulse parameter predictions, testing of reactivity measurement methods. Simulation of accidents connected with abnormal reactivity surplus into trigger reactor core. Reactor-laser system's personnel training.
    Mathematical Model:
        STENDB code’s mathematical model is based on the 3D Modified Integral Kinetics and Thermal Dynamics Model, specially elaborated for coupled critical fast reactor and subcritical thermal module (see Ref2 - 3,4 and Ref4 - 1,4). Temperature reactivity feedback effects and thermal transient processes in the burst reactor cores are numerically solved using original fast algorithm.
    General Information:
        The STENDB code has user-friendly Windows interface, graphics and training/context help systems. The information about reactor (including the general view of reactor and interactive moving of rods and BARS-6 cores using animation), experimental devices (first workplace) and laser module (second workplace) are represented on a display. STEDB code build-in Timer has two modes - the "REAL" time mode and the "ACCELERATE" (acceleration up to 10 times) time mode.
        It is possible to use STENDB Simulator in "ANALYSIS" mode (the reactivity is showed on reactor monitor; this mode is protected with the password) and in "TRAINING" mode (on reactor monitor - the period value). The on-line control for user’s errors is carried out automatically.
        The numerical simulation results were compared with experimental data. It was shown that experimental and computed results are in a good agreement.
