Design and Development of Neutron Kinetics Code KIND in COSINE Code Package

KIND code is an essential part of the COSINE code package and it is developed for transient calculation and safety analysis of PWR.It is built on the solid foundation of the core simulator CORE code.KIND is designed to be capable of analyzing a variety of PWR core transients from zero to three dimensions.Reactor point kinetics model and space-time kinetics mode are imbedded in KIND.The basic design and development of KIND code were introduced,including code architecture,theoretical models,and development specifications.
