Description

In order to test the applicability of the LWR-safety code RELAP5/MOD2 on tight fuel rod lattices of advanced PWRs presently being investigated a post-test analysis was performed of an experiment of the FLORESTAN-Programme. RELAP5/MOD2 turned out to be unable to adequately simulate the reflood behaviour observed in the experiment. Modelling effort is needed to extend the capability of RELAP5 towards applications to advanced PWRs, especially for the reflood phase of LOCAs. (orig.)
