Multiphysics modeling of a reactivity insertion transient at different fidelity levels in support to the safety assessment of a SMART-like small modular reactor

Typical design basis accidents such as the control Rod Ejection Accident (REA) will need to be evaluated during the safety analysis in support the licensing processes for most of the current Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) designs. In this paper a study related to the neutronic and thermal-hydraulic c...
