Prassinos, P G

The report presents a preliminary evaluation and summary of the results of LOFT nonnuclear Loss-of-Coolant Experiment (LOCE) L1-5, which was conducted on April 25, 1978. LOCE L1-5 simulated a completed double-ended offset shear of a large pressurized water reactor inlet pipe. For this experiment the nuclear core was installed and held in a shutdown condition. Initial conditions and plant configuration for LOCE L1-5 were as close as possible to those for a nuclear LOCE. The emergency core cooling system was initiated by timer settings, and the plant protection system was fully operational.
