This report presents the results of a comparison between analytical predictions of four non-nuclear LOFT tests and the subsequent test results. The test predictions were made with the RELAP thermal hydraulic computer code. The LOFT tests included L1-1, L1-2, L1-3A, and L1-4, all of which were non-nuclear blowdown tests conducted with a core simulator in the reactor vessel. The validity and usefulness (for comparison with analysis) of the experimental results as reported by EG and G Idaho are also reviewed.
