OSTI ID:5747588
The objectives of the Semiscale Program are briefly defined, and accomplishments during the Mod-3 portion of the program are summarized. Significant results from several series of experiments are presented: (1) results from a series of baseline experiments that included large-break blowdown, reflood, and integral blowdown-reflood tests; (2) results from simulations of the transient at the Three Mile Island 2 nuclear power station; (3) experimental findings from a small-break blowdown test series; and (4) miscellaneous experimental results including plant blackout simulations (complete loss of electrical power), upper-head injection drain tests, and natural circulation investigations.
