Abstract
The present works, an ATLAS test for 4-Inch cold leg top-slot break LOCA and a simulation of this test with RELAP5 Mod3.3 Patch5, are presented and the calculation results are compared and discussed against the test data. An ATLAS model for RELAP5 was applied for steady state. And then, a transient calculation was performed with a break line model that was developed for the present work. The RELAP5 calculations show a reasonable agreement with the test data. Especially, the RELAP5 predicted repeatable loop seal clearing and reformation in the test. The loop seal clearing and reformation led no excursion in the cladding temperature in both the test and RELAP5 calculation.
