Computer Codes Developed by the Lab

HADES-SNU (High-level rAdiowaste Disposal Evaluation Simulator by SNU):
Multiphysics Modeling for Geological Repository

HADES, built in the MOOSE Framework, can simulate multiphysics behaviors of chemical processes and material performance in engineered barrier systems at a geological repository. It covers thermal, fluid, mass transport, chemical, electrochemical, and radiolytic phenomena.

BOTANI:
Multiphysics Modeling of CRUD Growth and Chemistry

A high-fidelity multi-physics FEM code to simulate the growth of porous CRUD (Chalk River Unidentified Deposits) and the boron chemistry and hideout within the deposits by coupling thermal, fluid, transport, chemical, and radiolysis phenomena with MPI parallel computing.

​

Developed and then delivered to KHNP.

SNUBIC (SNU Boron Investigator with CRUD growth):
1D Fast Scalable Simulator for CRUD Growth and Chemistry

A radial 1D multi-physics modeling can be applied for each section of nuclear fuel rods to simulate the growth of porous CRUD (Chalk River Unidentified Deposits) and the boron chemistry and hideout within the deposits by coupling thermal, fluid, transport, chemical, precipitation, microstructure changes, and radiolysis phenomena with MPI parallel computing. It can be used for calculating CRUD composition and thermal properties.

SNUCYCLE (SNU nuclear fuel CYCLe Evaluator):
System Dynamics Code for Nuclear Energy System Analysis

A system dynamics simulation code for nuclear fuel cycle systems to analyze the isotopic mass flow and lifecycle impact of complex combinations of various fuel cycle processes, reactor types, and multiple recycling.

Contributors: Konhee Lee, Sungyeol Choi

SNUPY (SNU PYrochemical electrorefining model):
Molten Salt Electrolysis Model based on Butler Volmer Theory 

An electrochemical kinetics model to simulate a multispecies pyrochemical electrorefining process of used nuclear fuel in molten salt with solid and liquid electrodes.
