TRACE Code Validation for DVI Line Break LOCA in the ATLAS Facility

Abstract

The object of this work is the validation and assessment of the TRACE code using the scaled test ATLAS facility in the context of the ISP-50. The ISP-50 was proposed by the OECD/NEA/CSNI due to its technical importance to develop a best-estimate safety analysis methodology for the DVI line break accidents. In particular, the experiment selected for ISP-50 models the 50% 6-inch break of a DVI line.
