Experimental validations of the CAFCA computer code for its applications to Pressurized Water Reactor Steam Generators

We can trust the results provided by a computer code all the more as its validation program is exhaustive and good. Since 1982 the TTA department has achieved the experimental program for the validation of the CAFCA computer code in its applications to PWR SGs. Its variety, quality and exhaustivity can be noticed throughout the description of the experiments made under agreement at the LEMTA, of the tests achieved on TTA department equipments - such as the ESOPE mock-up or MEDOC and FRIDA two phase flow loops -, eventually of the program proposed by the CEA to be achieved on the CLOTAIRE mock-up
