This paper presents the results of SAS4A analysis for PFR/TREAT experiment L07, a simulated TUCOP accident. This is one of a series of TUCOP tests with different channel conditions at pin failure time and different power burst shapes. While other TUCOP tests such as L6 and L7 have been analyzed with earlier versions of the SAS code, the L07 analysis is the first to use the release version of SAS4A without special modifications, using recommended values of the input variables whenever possible. The PRIMAR-4 thermal-hydraulic model is used to compute the loop characteristics during the test.
