The response of a steam generator during both operational and transient conditions is of major importance in studying the thermal-hydraulic behavior of a nuclear reactor coolant system. The objective of this study is to predict the behavior of the secondary side of the Westinghouse Model E steam generator using the RELAP5/MOD2 computer code. Steady-state conditions and a loss-of-feedwater (LOFW) transient were predicted and compared with a previous study using the RETRAN-02 computer code. The comparison showed an agreement with the previous study for steady-state calculations.
