Abstract
The results of RELAP5 post-test analyses of test T3.1 performed on the PMK experimental facility are presented. The Hungarian facility PMK is a scaled-down model of NPP with VVER-440/213 reactor. The code versions RELAP5/MOD3.3hg (post Patch03) and RELAP5/MOD3.3ef (Patch02) have been assessed against the experimental data from the test T3.1. The test T3.1 was a large-break LOCA with 30% break starting from shutdown conditions with nitrogen in PRZ. Generally, both prediction of system behavior and prediction of nitrogen transport are in very good agreement with measured data.
