BWR full integral simulation test (FIST) program. TRAC-BWR model development. Volume 3. Developmental assessment for plant application

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6475451
The TRACB04 computer code has been developed under the model development tasks in the FIST Program. This report describes two developmental assessment calculations performed on BWR plants with TRACB04. A BWR/2 Design Basis Accident (DBA) including the containment response and a BWR/4 DBA with Low Pressure Coolant Injection (LPCI) water injected into the lower plenum were calculated and results of these cases were documented. These cases serve to test some of the new features of the TRACB04 (air field, containment model, ''water packing'' fixes and faster numerics in the three dimensional vessel component) and to demonstrate that the code has been assembled properly. They also provide best estimate LOCA results for the two plant types.
