Thermal and Hydraulic Code Verification: ATHOS2 and Model Boiler No. 2 Data. Final Report.

摘要

As part of the EPRI/Westinghouse Project S168-1, Westinghouse was contracted to conduct steady-state and transient tests on the Westinghouse Model Boiler No. 2 (MB-2) steam generator test model at the Engineering Test Facility in Tampa, Florida, and to use the data obtained in these tests for the verification of the ATHOS2 (an updated version of URSULA2) code developed for EPRI by CHAM of North America, Inc. This document presents a description of (1) the model boiler and the associated test facility, (2) the ATHOS2 code analytical model of MB-2, (3) the tests performed for the code verification program, (4) the comparisons of the test data with ATHOS2 calculations, and (5) recommendations for improving the ARHOS2 code.
