In order to enlarge the experimental data base for code assessment, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), in cooperation with the Central Research Institute for Physics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, has organized a standard problem exercise involving the simulation of a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) in the PMK-NVH experimental facility, a scaled-down model of a WWER-440 nuclear power plant. This paper presents a description of the facility and the test and summarizes the conclusions of the intercomparison of results provided by the 17 participants in pretest and post-test calculations.
