Experimental and Theoretical Investigation on the Depressurization of a Vessel with Internals

摘要

This paper is about some blow-down experiments performed at the Scalbatraio Center of the University of Pisa. The blow-down tests have been made to investigate the depressurization of a vessel with internal structures, reproducing the geometry of a BWR. The experimental data have been compared with calculations performed by the RELAP program, in order to evaluate the scaling effects related to their application to large scale units.
