TRAC: a new code for LOCA analysis. [BWR and PWR]
Conference
·
OSTI ID:7095509
A computer code called TRAC is being developed by the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory for analysis of loss-of-coolant accidents (LOCA's) and other transients in light water reactors. This code differs from existing codes and other codes under development for LOCA analysis in its more detailed geometrical models of reactor systems and in its more complex models of the two-phase fluid flow that occurs during these accidents. It is intended that TRAC be a ''best estimate'' code rather than a ''conservative code for licensing applications, so that better verification of the code against experimental data will be possible.
