Abstract

Reduced instrument responses are presented for Thermal-Hydraulic Test Facility (THTF) test 102, which is part of the ORNL Pressurized-Water Reactor (PWR) Blowdown Heat Transfer Separate-Effects Program. The objective of the program is to investigate the thermal-hydraulic phenomenon governing the energy transfer and transport processes that occur during a loss-of-coolant accident in a PWR system. Test 102 was conducted to investigate the thermal-hydraulic response of bundle 1 under full-power steady-state and blowdown conditions.
