TRAC-PF1 independent assessment
- comps.
This report documents the Los Alamos results of the second assessment phase, independent assessment for TRAC-PF1. We documented the results of the developmental assessment for TRAC-PF1 in an earlier report. This report described calculations run with the released versions of TRAC-PF1. We analyzed separate-effects tests in the Semiscale facility to investigate natural-circulation and reflux cooling. We analyzed integral tests from the Semiscale and the Loss-of-Fluid Test facilities to explore the small- and intermediate-break loss-of-coolnt-accident (LOCA) capability and the non-LOCA capability. We also analyzed the loss-of-feedwater transient in the Crystal River plant. The results show reasonably good agreement with the data, but indicate that improvements are required for the critical-flow model and the interphasic-condensation model. 38 refs., 224 figs., 19 tabs.
