    Author : Matilda Tiberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Pressurized Water Reactor; Safetey analysis; LOCA; Intermediate Break; PKL; TRACE; transient; thermal hydraulics;

    Abstract : This thesis studied the performance of the thermal hydraulic software TRACE applied on an intermediate sized break (IB) happening on the cold leg in a pressurized water reactor (PWR), causing a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). The same accident has previously been simulated in the PKL Test Facility, which is a scaled version of a PWR and is used to simulate transients stemming from different accidents. READ MORE
