A blowdown analysis on LPWR LOCA by ALARM-P1

Presented in this report is the results of an LPWR LOCA blowdown analysis by the ALARM-P1 and their comparisons with the RELAP4-EM. Up to the present, the ALARM-P1 code has been improved and refined by solving a various type of calculational exercises given as the CSNI Standard Problems. As a result, confidence of the analytical models in it was proved to be sufficient through the international comparison. Based on such experiences accumulated, therefore, the analysis of a typical PWR plant was attempted here. The results of two codes agreed fairly well, thus showing that the ALARM-P1 could be applicable to actual power plants. With the capabilities as successfully demonstrated herein, this report concludes the development work of the ALARM-P1. (author)
