The direct-cycle supercritical-pressure (250-bar) light-water-cooled reactors have the advantages of high thermal efficiency, simplicity, and breeding capability. The low-density fluid steam is generated in the core and fed directly to the turbines. A reactor large-break loss-of-coolant accident (LBLOCA) has been analyzed and a computer code was developed to analyze the blowdown from the supercritical pressure. When the system pressure decreased around atmospheric pressure, the calculation was connected to the REFLA-TRAC code for heatup and reflood analysis.
