PRESCON 2 Simulation of the OECD/CSNI Containment Analysis Standard Problem No. 2
Main Article Content
Abstract
Atomic Energy of Canada Limited Engineering Company is a participant in the "OECD-CSNI Containment Standard Problem No 2" exercise, sponsored by the OECD-CSNI and hosted by the Federal Republic of Germany.
The experimental program was initiated to provide experimental results in a model containment for comparison with computer codes in order to make an assessment of the codes and to uncover possible modelling deficiencies.
The test facility consists of a high pressure coolant system and a model containment (cylindrical in shape, diameter = 12 m, height = 9 m) divided into several compartments. The test was performed by discharging a two phase mixture into the containment for a period of 50 s. The computer simulation was carried out using the PRESCON-2 containment code. Results of this simulation and a comparison with the experimental results are presented in this paper.
