Prototype Nuclear Inspection Tool Analysis with CFX® Project Objective Detailed analysis of a prototype inspection and maintenance tool was required to determine its effect on maintenance coolant flow when submerged in a CANDU heat-transfer system. It would have been very costly to implement a suitable experimental apparatus to satisfy the required range of tests . Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was selected to perform the analysis because it offered a cost- effective, rapid alternative to experimental testing and was able to provide tool designers with the required information early in the design process. ANSYS® CFX® was the package used to create the model. Scope of Work It was essential that the analysis of the prototype nuclear inspection tool determine the effect that the equipm
