Validation of RETRAN-03 from FIST turbine trip data and boil-off data. Final report, April 1991

Creators

Description

The RETRAN-03 computer code was validated by simulating two tests that were performed at the Full Integral Simulation Test (FIST) facility. RETRAN-03 results of a Peach Bottom turbine trip (4PTT1) and failure to maintain water level at decay power (T1QUV) are compared with the FIST test data. Sensitivity to various model nodalizations and RETRAN-03 slip options were studied by comparing results of FIST test T1QUV. Core uncovery time is sensitive to the upper downcomer and upper plenum nodalization. The RETRAN-03 analysis of FIST test 4PTT1 was compared to a previous TRAC-BWR analysis of the test. (author)
