Hitachi utilized three-dimensional transient analysis to design and verify a critical-control mode algorithm of an automatic power regulator (APR). TRACG has a three-dimensional neutron kinetics model based on diffusion theory and a six-equation two-phase flow model. To verify the APR critical-control mode algorithm, an external-neutron-source model that makes possible to simulate a sub-critical initial core, and an APR system model were developed and added on TRACG. The code was verified by comparison of measurements and calculation results of ABWR start-up operation under the critical-control mode. The modified TRACG could simulate neutron count rates of start-up-range neutron monitors (SRNMs), reactor period, control rod operation timing, CR withdrawal length, and time of criticality declaration, well.
