AbstractAbstract
[en] The BEMUSE (Best Estimate Methods - Uncertainty and Sensitivity Evaluation) Programme is focused on applications of the uncertainty methodologies to Large Break LOCA scenarios. The main goals of the Programme are: - To evaluate the practicability, quality and reliability of best-estimate methods including uncertainty evaluations in applications relevant to nuclear reactor safety; - To develop common understanding; - To promote / facilitate their use by the regulator bodies and the industry. The scope of the Phase II of BEMUSE is to perform Large Break LOCA analysis making reference to the experimental data of LOFT L2-5 in order to address the issue of 'the capabilities of computational tools', including the scaling / uncertainty analysis. The operational objective of the activity is the quality demonstration of the system code calculations in performing LBLOCA analysis through the fulfilment of a comprehensive set of common criteria established in correspondence of different steps of the code assessment process. In particular criteria and threshold values for selected parameters have been adopted for: a) The developing of the nodalization; b) The evaluation of the steady state results; c) The qualitative and quantitative comparison between measured and calculated time trends. Main achievements of the Phase II, to be considered in the following phases of BEMUSE, are summarized as follows: - Almost all performed calculations appear qualified against the fixed criteria; - Dispersion bands of reference results appear substantially less than in ISP-13; - The sensitivity study shall be used as guidance for deriving the uncertainty bands in the following Phase III of the Programme
