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 971 simulated a BWR LOSS of off-site power transient. The core scram was assumed to occur at 6 seconds after the transient initiated by the turbine trip. HPCS failure was assumed. After ADS started, the upper half of the core was uncovered by steam. The core was reflooded by LPCS alone.
