Abstract
ABSTRACTSPCTRAN is a reactor transient and accident simulation software program that operates on a personal computer. It was developed by Taiwan Power Company and Micro-Simulation Technology (MST). PCTRAN have high resolution color display and interactive control capability enable versatile, high speed simulation, yet low cost transient simulation. We can use it to simulate various transients and events in order to assess the safety of nuclear power plants.In the present thesis, we will descriptive all of the PCTRAN model structure that it is include source code, VB interface and the data base structure correlation. We also detail investigations into PCTRAN system control blocks.Due to the fact that PCTRAN can not include all of the plant systems and transient initiation events, the operator should be familiar with plant basics in order to complete a reasonable and logical PCTRAN simulation run with its built-in existing functions. Under current basic PCTRAN structures, we can add or modify necessary VB objects and source codes to develop a proper tool for transient analysis in a nuclear power plant.
