With the increasing use of advanced computer codes in nuclear safety assessment, it becomes necessary to closely evaluate the prediction capability of these codes. The purpose of the work presented here is to perform a RELAP5/MOD3 analysis of the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA), PMK-NVH, third standard problem exercise (SPE-3) and to compare it with the experimental data. Sponsored by the IAEA, SPE-3 is performed in cooperation with the Central Research Institute of Physics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. The general objective of the SPE is to evaluate the prediction capability of various thermal-hydraulic computer codes and to assess the level of uncertainty in code calculations. Furthermore, the exercise renders a unique opportunity to investigate a singular plant transient and to assess code performance under significantly different conditions.
