To assist CEGB in assessing the capabilities and status of RELAP5/MOD2, the code has been used to simulate SBLOCA test LP-SB-01 carried out in the LOFT experimental reactor under the OECD LOFT programme. This test simulated a 1.0% hot leg break in a PWR, with early tripping of the primary coolant circulating pumps. This report compares the results of the RELAP5/MOD2 analysis with experimental measurements. 19 figs., 2 tabs.
