Abstract

The purpose of this work is to overview the results obtained by simulating a 17% cold leg Intermediate Break Loss-Of-Coolant Accident (IBLOCA) in the Large Scale Test Facility (LSTF) using the thermal-hydraulic code TRACE5 patch 2. This IBLOCA transient corresponds to the Test 2 (IB-CL-03 in JAEA) and it is performed in the frame of the OECD/NEA ROSA-2 Project. During this transient, the single-failure of the High and the Low Pressure Injection systems (HPI and LPI, respectively) in the broken loop and the total failure of Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) are assumed.

A detailed model of the LSTF and the chronology of events following these assumptions have been developed with TRACE5 patch 2. A comparison between the simulation and the experimental results is provided throughout different graphs. Acceptable general behavior is observed in the entire transient.
