Abstract
The following items on decay heat effect on PWR reflood phenomena were revealed by investigation on results of CCTF tests in the range of 1.06 kW/m to 1.4 kW/m of initial average linear power (Peak linear power: 2.04 kW/m to 2.69 kW/m; Total power: 7.1 MW to 9.4 MW). These power levels simulate most probable case to very conservative case for PWR LOCA analyses. (1) The overall flow characteristics in the low power test (1.06 kW/m of initial average linear power) were qualitatively similar to that of the base case test (1.4 kW/m of initial average linear power). Any qualitatively different phenomena were not recognized during reflood phase. This indicates that it is reasonable to utilize the physical reflood model developed from the result of the base case test under the low power condition at least up to 1.06 kW/m of the initial average linear power for a prediction of PWR reflood phenomena. (2) On the other hand, the following quantitative influence of the power on PWR reflood phenomena was observed. This result was consistent to that previously observed in FLECHT-SET tests performed in the scope of the initial average linear power from 1.88 kW/m to 2.35 kW/m. (3) Observed
