Verification of relap5/mod3.2 critical heat transfer computational method by experiments performed on the ks facility

  • Published:
Atomic Energy Aims and scope

The computational results obtained with the RELAP5/mod3.2 code for critical heat transfer are compared with experimental data obtained on the KS facility for RBMK fuel assembly models. The confidence interval is constructed for the correction factor to the computed critical heat flux.
