3. DESCRIPTION OF TEST FACILITY

ROSA-III is a 1/124 scaled down test facility with electrically heated core designed to study the response of engineered safety features to loss-of-coolant accidents in in commercial BWR. It consists of the following, fully instrumented subsystems:
(a) the pressure vessel with a core simulating four half-length fuel assemblies and control rod;
(b) steam line and feed water line, which are independent open loops;
(c) coolant recirculation system, which consists of two loops provided with a recirculation pump and two jet pumps in each loop;
(d) emergency cooling system, including HPCS, LPCS, LPCI, and ADS.

4. DESCRIPTION OF TEST

RUN 926 simulates a 200% double-ended break in the recirculation line with failure of HPCS. Initial conditions of the test were as follows: steam dome pressure 7.37 MPa; lower plenum temperature 553 K; core inlet flow rate 16.3 kg/s; core power before break initiation 3.967 MW. During the transient, the power was changed along the curve which simulates the total heat transfer rate in the core of the reference BWR.
