  • Patent number: 7426458
    Abstract: A system and computer implemented method for automatically performing reload licensing analysis of a nuclear reactor and preparing and generating a reload licensing report. The system and method include collecting input data and processing a plurality of nuclear reactor analysis modules. Each of the nuclear reactor analysis modules receives analysis module input data and generates analysis output data. The analysis module input data is based at least in part on the collected input data. The method also includes verifying at least one analysis output data from one nuclear reactor analysis module by comparing the analysis output data to predetermined analysis output data for the one nuclear reactor analysis module. The method further includes generating a reload licensing report for the nuclear reactor as a function of the analysis output data from two or more nuclear reactor analysis modules.
