A natural circulation test transient performed at the EBR-II facility is simulated using the MINET computer code, and calculated results are compared against data from the plant. The MINET EBR-II representation includes much of the intermediate loop and the steam generator system, and corresponds to the portion of the plant usually represented by MINET when it is executed with SSC, the Super System Code. MINET calculations agreed well with the plant transient data, with discrepancies well within uncertainties in thermocouple time constants and boundary conditions.
