Slovik, G; Saha, P

As part of the independent assessment of the TRAC-PD2/MOD1 code, a calculation for the Battelle Columbus Laboratories (BCL) transient Emergency Core Cooling (ECC) bypass test was performed. The purpose of this calculation was to assess the code's capability to predict the lower plenum refill rate after the initiation of ECC water injection during a postulated large break LOCA in a PWR system. BCL conducted several ECC bypass tests in their 2/15th-scale model of a typical pressurized water reactor vessel.
