Comparison of heavy water reactor thermalhydraulic code predictions with small break LOCA experimental data

Reports on the second international collaborative intercomparison and validation of computer codes for heavy water reactor thermalhydraulic safety analyses. This summary report provides a comparison of the results obtained from six participating countries, utilizing four different computer codes.

---

Intercomparison and Validation of Computer Codes for Thermalhydraulics Safety Analyses is an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) activity designed to facilitate international cooperative research and promote information exchange on computer codes for thermalhydraulic safety analyses. The objective is to enhance the safety analysis capabilities of the participants and the effective use of their resources through this international cooperation. This report provides a comparison of the results obtained from eight participating organisations from six countries, utilizing four different computer codes. General conclusions are reached and recommendations made
