Description
In order to assess safety criterion application, accidents in nuclear reactors are described with computation codes, and especially thermohydraulic codes; at first, evaluation codes were used, then, with the advancement of computers and physics, realistic codes such as the CATHARE code, developed by CEA, EDF and FRAMATOME, are utilized in France. CATHARE had been validated, notably with experiments on the BETHSY PWR 1/100 scaled (in volume) model, and is able to predict correctly every accidental condition. It is used for training simulations with the SIPA simulator
