Abstract
A real-time accident tracking calculation technique is investigated for in-depth diagnoses of internal state variables of a pressurized water reactor (PWR) plant in the case of a small-break loss-of-coolant accident (SBLOCA). The technique is composed of two parts: (a) a faster-than-real-time open-system simulator TOKRAC for calculating postaccident thermal-hydraulic behavior in the primary system of a PWR plant, and (b) several real-time state estimators for supplying the unobserved external input to TOKRAC.
