Containment accident analysis using CONTEMPT4/M0D2 compared with experimental data. [PWR]

L.J. Metcalfe, D.W. Hargroves, R. Wells

Abstract

CONTEMPT4/MOD2 is a new computer program developed to predict the long-term thermal hydraulic behavior of light-water reactor and experimental containment systems during postulated loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) conditions. Improvements over previous containment codes include multicompartment capability and ice condenser analytical models. A program description and comparisons of calculated results with experimental data are presented.
