AbstractAbstract
[en] The report contains the RELAP4 analysis and sensitivity studies of Semiscale Tests S-02-2 and S-02-7. The Semiscale System is an electrically heated experiment designed to produce data on system performance typical of PWR thermal-hydraulic behavior. The RELAP4 program used for these analyses is a digital computer program developed to predict the thermal-hydraulic behavior of experimental systems and water-cooled nuclear reactors subjected to postulated transients. The results of the analysis for Test S-02-2 were in very good agreement with the data. Two parameters which required improvement were identified. These were the lower plenum density and the mass flow on the vessel side of the break. Subsequently, before analyzing Test S-02-7, the lower plenum was renodalized and the critical flow model at the vessel side break was modified. The results of the analysis of Test S-02-7 compared more favorably with the data than those of S-02-2. Additional sensitivity studies included time step studies, steam generator and downcomer modeling, and core nodalization
