Abstract
This document has been drawn up by UNIÓN ELÉCTRICA FENOSA, S.A. (UNIÓN FENOSA), which participates in the Code Application and Maintenance Project (CAMP) as a member of UNIDAD ELÉCTRICA, S.A. (UNESA). The document presents a comparison between experimental data from the plant and data obtained by simulation with the RELAP5/MOD3.2 code of the experiment BT-56 which took place on 3rd July 1990 at the Joint Research Centre of the Commission of the European Communities, located in Ispra (Italy).
The experiment originally scheduled for the LOBI-MOD2 facility was a Loss of Main Feedwater (LOFW), but multiple failures occurred, meaning that the evolution of the experiment deviated it from the scheduled sequence.
The simulation was performed using the RELAP5/MOD3.2 code, on a Digital AlphaServer 2000 4/200 computer and the operating system DIGITAL-UNIX.
The results show an acceptable agreement between the phenomenology observed during the experiment and that predicted by the code.
