Presently, increased requirements are imposed to study transient and emergency operation modes of nuclear facilities from point of view of quality and adequacy their simulation. In particular, concerning the Ukrainian NPP's this is connected with the analysis of VVER-1000 safety for a whole number of dsign basic accidents.
The first experience was obtained for the use of the coupled code DYN3D/ATHLET caculating a transient connected with the switching-off of one main coolant pump at the unit 6 of the Zaporizhya NPP.
