3. DESCRIPTION OF TEST FACILITY

NEPTUN is designed to perform PWR LOCA simulation experiments, which provide the full length emergency cooling heat transfer tests for LOFT. Therefore the NEPTUN heater bundle with 33 electrical heater elements and 4 guide tubes simulates a section of the LOFT nuclear core. The main test loop also contains measuring systems for the carry-over rate and for the steam expelled, and a backpressure control system. A water loop brings the water to the initial reflooding conditions. In addition, auxiliary systems maintain normal operating conditions.

4. DESCRIPTION OF TEST

Test 5052 is one of a series of 40 reflood tests performed in NEPTUN. Before the start of the test, the flooding water in its circuit is brought to the following conditions:
            pressure = 4.1 bar
            velocity = 2.5 cm/sec
            subcooling temperature = 78C
            single rod power = 2.45 kW
            maximal initial cladding temperature = 867C.
