Several FIST tests were simulated using the TRAC-BD1/MOD1 code at Brookhaven National Laboratory. This work was supported by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) as a part of its independent code assessment program. The TRAC-BD1/MOD1 code is an advanced best-estimate system code developed at Idaho National Engineering Laboratory primarily to analyze postulated accidents and transients in boiling water reactor (BWR) systems. The FIST (Full Integral Simulation Test) program is a joint project of the NRC, the Electric Power Research Institute, and General Electric Co. It was built to investigate small-break loss-of-coolant accidents (LOCAs) and operational transients in BWRs and to complement earlier large-break LOCA test results from the Two-Loop Test Apparatus. The FIST tests consist of two phases (phase I and phase II); phase I consists of ten tests. Among these, four tests were selected to be simulated in this study. They were: a BWR/4 main steam isolation valve (MSIV) closure anticipated transient without scram (ATWS), a BWR/6 small-break LOCA without high-pressure core spray (HPCS), a BWR/6 large-break LOCA and a BWR/6 main steam line break test.
