CSNI0012 LOFT/LP-FP-1B.

1. NAME OR DESIGNATION:  LOFT/LP-FP-1B.

3. DESCRIPTION OF TEST FACILITY

The LOFT Integral Test Facility is a scale model of a LPWR.  The intent of the facility is to model the nuclear, thermal-hydraulic phenomena which would take place in a LPWR during a LOCA.  The general philosophy in scaling coolant volumes and flow areas in LOFT was to use the ratio of the LOFT core [50 MW(t)] to a typical LPWR core [3000 MW(t)].  For some components, this factor is not applied; however, it is used as extensively as practical.  In general, components used in LOFT are similar in design to those of a LPWR.  Because of scaling and component design, the LOFT LOCA is expected to closely model a LPWR LOCA.

4. DESCRIPTION OF TEST

The seventh OECD LOFT experiment was conducted on 19 December 1984.  It was the first of the two experiments to be performed in the LOFT facility with intentional release of fission products.  Its objectives were to obtain data on fission product release from the fuel-cladding gap into vapor and reflood water and to collect data on transport of these fission products through and out of the reactor coolant system.  The experiment was initiated by a reactor scram with one second delayed opening of the quick-opening blowdown valves.

5. EXPERIMENTAL LIMITATIONS OR SHORTCOMINGS

Short core and steam generator, excessive core bypass, other scaling compromises, and lack of adequate measurements in certain areas.

6. PHENOMENA TESTED

Phase separation, core heat transfer, ECC bypass and penetration, and quench front propagation.

7. SPECIAL FEATURES OF EXPERIMENT:  Only integral research facility with a nuclear core.

8. COUNTERPART EXPERIMENTS:  Semiscale.
