Abstract
RELAP5 computer code was used to simulate an experiment designated 9.1.b, (2" Cold Leg Break without HPSI and with Delayed Ultimate Procedure) performed on BETHSY integral test facility. This test is characterized as beyond design transients scenarios with unavailability of some safety and protection systems. The calculations which have been completed using the computer Sun Sparcstation 20 aim to evidence the difference between experimental and computed data. Generally, an agreement of major transient treads is shown to be obtained in the simulation.
