CORRELATIONS TO PREDICT MAXIMUM PWR CONTAINMENT PRESSURES FOLLOWING A LOSS- OF-COOLANT ACCIDENT.

In this paper, dry containments refer to the class of containments which do not employ which do not employ passive pressure-suppresion systems such as pool-suppression for ice-condenser systems. The dry containments, sometimes called volume, vapor, adiabatic, drywell, or pressure containments are often associated with pressurized water reactors; pool type pressure-suppression systems are sometimes called heat capacity containments and normally associated with boiling water reactor.
