Description

Thermal-hydraulic analyses of five hypothetical accident scenarios were performed with the RELAP5/MOD3 computer code for the Babcock and Wilcox Company Washington Nuclear Project Unit 1 (WNP1) pressurized water reactor. This work was sponsored by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and is being performed in conjunction with future analysis work at the NRC Technical Training Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The accident scenarios were chosen to assess and benchmark the thermal-hydraulic capabilities of the Technical Training Center WNP1 simulator to model abnormal transient conditions. 6 refs., 45 figs., 9 tabs
