The purpose of the LOFT-program and its application to licensing activities

  • 1. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC (USA)

Description

To license nuclear power reactors requires an understanding of their behaviour during operating and accident conditions. The results of the LOFT-L1 series demonstrate encouraging success in the scaling techniques used to simulate PWRs. In addition they serve to verify some aspects of LOCA-codes and models and to suggest improvements in others. Most important, however, is the general trend of conservatisms contained in the LOCA codes to which the data have been compared. (Auth.)
