C. 1 STATEMENT OF WORK

1. PROJECT TITLE

FAST Code Improvement and Feature Extension

2. BACKGROUND

Recently, the U.S. Nu clear Regulatory Comm ission (NRC) has sponso red the modernization of its fuel performa n ce codes FRAPCON [3] and FRAPTRAN [4] to use state-of-the-practice Fortran programming practices, cu lminating in the release of the Fue l Analysis under Steady-state and Transients (FAST) computer code [1, 2 ] that combines the functions of the FRAP codes. The FAST code assesses the behav ior of nuclear fuel unde r steady-state and transient scenarios. Th is code is used by the following NRC offices: Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research (RES), Office of Nu clear Reactor Regulation (NRR), and Office of Nuc lear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS), as well as by numerous governmenta l, commerc ia l and academ ic institutions around the wor ld for the analysis of nuclear fue l behavior.

The merger of the FRAPCON and FRAPTRAN codes to crea te FAST included many improvements to modern ize the Fortran source code. This introduced many object - oriented programming practices, including the use of modu les and submodules, object polymorphism, and type extens ion and inheritance. However, additiona l wor k is needed to introduce modern Fortran best practices in the code. In particular, the FAST Materia l Properties Library (Matlib) [2]

cou ld be improved in terms of code performance and its ease of maintenance.

FAST - as we ll as its predecessor codes FRAPCO N and FRAPTRAN - solves the govern ing thermal and mechanica l partial differential equations (PDEs) fo r cy lindrica l geomet ries. The code uses a " 1.5-dimensiona l" approach, where the fue l rod is divided into severa l ax ial segments and the govern ing equat ions are so lved in the rad ial direction for each axia l segment. The axial segments are fairly large (on the order of tens of centimeters), which is sufficient for most cases. However, in some situations steep axial temperature gradients are expected, so work is needed to fine tune the axial nodalization during a s imu lation to better model the fuel be havior.

FAST often relies on informat ion from other computer codes to provide various boundary cond itions, including coo lan t temperature, pressure, and mass flow rate, as well as the rod power and axia l power shape. Typically, a user provides these boundary conditions as input to FAST. However, this approach does not capture feedback between the fue l rod thermal-mechanica l behavior calculated by FAST and therma l-fluid and rod power behav ior for which other computer codes are needed. To better capture th is feedback, NRC and its contractors have made modifications to the FAST source code to allow it to run simultaneously with the TRAC /RE LAP Advanced Computational Eng ine (TRACE) in a coupled mu ltiphys ics simulation. This initial effort on ly allows a user to simulate one FAST fue l rod ; further work is needed to extend this capab ility to multiple rods to perform a coupled FAST TRACE simula tion of a full reactor core. Work is also needed to capture reactor powe r feedback based on fuel temperatures ca lcu lated by FAST and neutronic behav io r calcu lated by TR ACE and the Purdue Advanced Reactor Core Simulator (PARCS).

3. PROJECT DESRIPTION AND OBJECTIVE(S)

The object ive of this acquisition is to obtain modifications to the FAST source code to expand its capabil ity in so lving the major physics associated with therma l-mechan ica l fue l performance, and to ensure the code remain s state-of-the pract ice in terms of software development practices, code modernization and code functionality.

New code requirements:

Page 4 31310020D0004 / 31310020F0096

Be able to compile and run on Windows, Mac OS and Linux-based (CentOS, Ubuntu) operating systems

Be able to be compiled using Intel Parallel Studio 2019 (or ear lier) and gcc/gfortran-8.0

Be able to be compiled into a Visua l Studio 2019 solution file

Be able to be freely distributed to the FAST user group members without any restrictions

Be written in modern fortran (Conform to 2018 standard)

Be written w ith full test coverage (unit and integration)

Conform to FAST's Quality Assurance requiremen ts

There is no restriction to using open -source so lvers as long as the open source code can be freely distributed by NRC to the FAST domestic and internationa l U ser Group and meets the requirements of Section 10. The improvements made to FAST under this contract will be used to ensure that the existing and emerging need s of the NRC are met.

4. STATEMENT OF WORK TASKS

The contractor sha ll provide a ll resources necessary to accomp lish the tasks and deliverables desc ribed in this Statement of Work (SOW). For all tasks that include modifications to the FAST (or Matlib) source code, the contractor shall provide the following:

Updated FAST source code, tracked via the Git version contro l sys tem, and verified u sing the Github Actions continuous integration workflow in the FAST repository; source must be well commented

Updated FAST Code Description and Matlib documentation to describe new physics, functiona lity, formatting, etc. to be used by FAST's code users; the Code Description and M atlib documents are created from LaTeX files and a Python script that are includ ed in the G ithub repository for FAST

Updated FAST develope r documentation describing the funct ionality and details into how it was implemented /

how it can be updated in the future

Test cases that show the functionality of the new code (this is in add ition to the required un it & integration tests per FAST's QA procedures as mentioned in Section 3)

Task 1 - Participation in Projec t Kick-off Mee ting

The work requested comp liments work performed by NRC staff as well as work performed under cont ract with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Idaho National Laboratory and Information System Laboratories. A project ki ck-off m eeting will be organized by the COR to b ring all stakeho lders together for introduction s and a discussion of the roles, responsibilities and schedu les for the work p lanned for each entity. The contractor sha ll prepare a draft Task Order Project Plan, which includes dates, POCs and deliverab les for each requested task for p resentation at the Kick off meeting. The Kick-Off meeting will be conducted virtually within 30 days of the award. A final Task Order Project Plan, incorporating discuss ions and decisions of the Kick-off meeting, sha ll be provided within 14 days of the Kick-off meeting.

Task 2 - Develop 1 D axial grid refinement for existing 1.5D solvers

There are certain scenarios where the grid in a FAST calculation will need to change as a result of rap id and loca lized changes i n the physics. One such example is during a core reflood, where the fue l rod will go from a s tate of nearly adiabatic heat-up to being quenched by water. In these scenarios, it is common for there to be significant (severa l hundred degree) ax ial tem perature differences over very sma ll d istances, with very different clad-to-coolant heat transfer regimes. One approach to ana lyz ing this is by using sma ller grids dur ing these scenarios and larger grids at other times to redu ce the computationa l burden of not a lways acting on the small g rid.

The current 1.5 D cy lindrical representation in FAST uses a static grid for the simulation. The contractor sha ll develop the ability for the fuel rod to allow the grid to be refined during the calculation as required by significant ax ial temperature or heat transfer gradients. This involves rea llocating the a rray s and other data structures that contain the state of the fu el rod as a funct ion of axial elevat ion to increase array size and to initialize the arrays w ith the appropr iate informat ion based on the c urrent state of the simulation. Renodalization shall be triggered when a user-Page 5 31310020D0004 /31310020F0096 specified ax ial temperature gradient is exceeded at any point during a simu lation. The COR w ill provide guidance regarding an appropriate thermal gradient to use in test cases.

The contracto r shall update the FAST source code to implement this feature, update the Code Description document (1) with the new format requirem ents, provide a test problem that uses this capability, and update the development documentation to allow for future NRC developer updates.

Task 3 - Develop the ability for FAST to back up to a previous time step [OPTIONAL]

FAST has the abi lity to write out a text file that can be used to restart a ca lcu lation. However, there are situations where the code can run into numerical problems during a simu lation that could be resolved by backing up to an earlier time step and continuing the simulation using a reduced time step size, without stopping code execution.

To deal with these situations, the contractor shall implement the ability for FAST to store the state of a fuel rod for several previous timesteps in memory and to allow the code to back up to an ear lier time step when code convergence errors occur. The cont racto r sha ll demonstrate the capab ility to back up a n d resta rt from a previous time step saved in memory by writing verification tests that demonstrate the following:

One test sha ll back a simula tion up one time step and resume the ca lcu lation from that point, using the same time step size. If all simulation variables from th e previous time step are stored correctly, the code results from before and after the time step backup should be the same.

A second test shall demonstrate the capability to back up to a previous time step and reduce the time step size when the code fa ils to converge. The COR will provide the con tractor with an input file that fails due to convergence issues to demonstrate this capability.

Task 4-Update Matlib

The contractor sha ll update Matlib (the material library used by FAST) (2) to ensure it is both operating efficiently (in terms of memory access / speed) and designed using appropriate ob ject-oriented design patterns. More spec ifically, the contractor sha ll review the source code for Matlib to evaluate whether or not it is appropriate ly using type extension, polymorphism, abstraction, and data hiding. The contracto r sha ll identify potential improvements to speed up the code and to ensure it comp lies with modern Fortran best prac tices. After consu ltation with the COR, the contractor shall implement the improvements they have identified. If possible, Matlib (and/o r the ca lls into Matlib) shall be designed to be parallel using Coarray Fortran (CAF).

In addition to the source code updates, the contractor shall update the Code Description document (1 ) and Matlib documentation [2] w ith the new format requirements, provide examples of each of the code's new functionalities, and update the development documentation to allow for future NRC developer updates.

Task 5 -Assist in linking FAST to TRACE

The contractor shall assist the NR C in the coup ling of FAST with TRA CE. Preliminary work to coup le FAST to the TRACE reactor systems code through the MOOSE code (i.e., BlueCRAB) developed by Idaho National Laboratory was completed p reviously. The contractor sha ll expand the capabilities of the coup led code as follows:

The contractor sha ll perform any code modifications necessary for multiple instances of FAST to interface w ith multiple TR ACE components within one simu lation.

Th e contractor shall modify FAST to pass fuel temperature information to TRACE through MOOSE and to receive axial and radia l power profiles from MOOSE.

The contractor shall work with FAST, TRACE, and MOOSE developers to modify FAST to a llow for a PICARD time integration sc heme to be available to users who use FAS T in BlueCRAB. This e ffort will require mod ify ing FAS T to allow MOOSE to back up the calcu lation to a previous time step if code convergence prob lems arise

Page 6 31310020D0004 /31310020F0096 during execution of the coupled FAST-TRACE simulation. Code backup may be triggered by num e rica l problems in either TRACE or FAST.

The contracto r shall perform the above tasks in coo rdination with NRC staff and with its cont ractors at Id aho National Laboratory.

In addition to the source code updates, the contractor shall update the Code Description document [1] to describe this new fun ctional ity, provide an example prob lem (in coordination with NRC staff) to demonstrate the coup led FAST TR AC E capabilities of each of the code 's new capabi lities, and update the developer documentation to allow for future N RC developer updates.

Task 6 - Provide Training to NRC Staff and Contractors

The contracto r s hall provide up-to a 2 1/2 day training course to the NRC and other FAST developer staff outlining the code modifications and modern Fortran techniques used to perform the FAS T source code updates. The objective of the tra ining course is to ensu re NRC staff and cont ra cto rs understand the code modifications proposed in Tasks 2-5 and ha ve some facility with the modern Fortran techniques utilized in the code modifications. A course agenda sha ll be coordinated w ith and approved by the COR at least two weeks ahead of the training to ensure a ll desired subjects will be covered. The NRC staff and co ntractors should finish the cou rse with a basic understanding of the value and benefit of the modern Fortran techniques and be able to apply the techniques in their own prog ra ming efforts. The training sha ll provide explanation of the code modifications and modern Fortran techniques, address alternative approaches and the benefits offered by the selected approach and allow time for NRC staff questions about the modification and techniques. The training shall take p lace in the final two months o f the POP, following completion of the major ity of work requested in Tasks 2-5. The training be conducted virtually between the hours of 8 am and 5 pm ET and include 6.5 hour5.787037e-5 days 0.00139 hours 8.267196e-6 weeks 1.9025e-6 months s of instruction or lecture and 1.5 hour5.787037e-5 days 0.00139 hours 8.267196e-6 weeks 1.9025e-6 months s for breaks.

The training shall be recorded by the contractor in subject modules and video files shall be provided to NRC for fu ture use. The co ntra ctor shall confirm with the NR C COR on what video file type is supported at the NRC. Tra ining presentation materials and recordings provided under this task will become property of the government (NRC) and not subject to a n y restrictions on use.

The maximum number of staff attend ing the training sessions is 10 attendees.
