Abstract

TRAC-PD2 is a current released version of the TRAC code, which is being assessed at Brookhaven National Labortory using various separate effect tests. In this paper the application of this code to three transient tests - Super-CANON, Battelle-Frankfurt Top Blowdown, and Marviken Critical Flow Tests - is described. The results are compared with the predictions of TRAC-P1A, which is the previous released version, and the data. This indicates capabilities of various physical models in TRAC-PD2 and effect of changes made since TRAC-P1A.
