[en] The RELAP5 independent assessment project at Sandia National Laboratories is part of an overall effort funded by the NRC to determine the ability of various systems codes to predict the detailed thermal/hydraulic response of LWRs during accident and off-normal conditions. The RELAP5 code is being assessed at SNLA against test data from various integral and separate effects test facilities. As part of this assessment matrix, an intermediate break transient (L5-1) and a core uncovery transient (L8-2) performed at the LOFT facility have been analyzed. Transient calculations were done with both cycle 14 and cycle 18 of RELAP5/MOD1 and a comparison of the predictions was made. The results show that RELAP5/MOD1 did very well calculating the overall behavior for these intermediate break experiments, although there were a few quantitative disagreements
