The article describes the status of development of codes of new generation for the “PRORYV” Project by the end of 2019: twenty-five commercial-grade software products to justify design solutions and safety of power units with fast neutron reactors and liquid metal coolant (sodium and lead) in a closed nuclear fuel cycle. The developed system of codes is multi-physical and multi-scale that allows performing both calculations of the whole installations and high precision calculations of their individual elements. The developed codes offer unique features. Twelve developed codes have already been certified by Rostechnadzor, and six more have been submitted for certification. In addition to creating the software products, a large-scale work is being carried out to conduct experimental studies for code validation that meet modern requirements imposed by the codes: unique measurement techniques have been created; experimental data on flow characteristics of heavy liquid metal coolant (HLMC) in a fuel assembly simulator have been obtained, as well as of “gas-HLMC” interphase interaction after inert gas injection in HLMC and characteristics of heat exchange between the inert gas and HLMC. The results are already used for validation of system and CFD codes used in the “PRORYV” Project.
