No direct validation of an integrated code can be presently performed

Validation for so long transients is difficult due
to lack of applicable scaled experimental data
for combined PS & containment behaviour
ò

Separately validate Primary System  & Containment

CONTAINMENT MODULE ASSESSMENT

	Numerical Benchmark Problems to verify the reliability of models
	Separate Effect Tests on relevant containment phenomena
	ISPs in different geometrical scales for multi-compartment validation:

	FIPLOC F2, VANAM M2* & M3 in BMC (D)
	LACE Program in CSTF (USA)
	T31.5 & E11.2 in large HDR (D) facility
	M-7-1 at NUPEC (J)

 

PS MODULE ASSESSMENT

Usual assessment procedure not applicable because of:
model simplicity & main module goal
supply containment module with realistic boundary conditions in long term

	Model shakedown - comparison with PS codes for relevant transients
	Assessment on PS simulators (PO-IC & SPES-2) - satisfactory prediction of integral facilities (SBWR & AP600) behaviour
