3. DESCRIPTION

The OECD/NEA ROSA-2 project aimed to resolve key light water reactor (LWR) thermal-hydraulics safety issues highlighted from the first phase of the project by using the ROSA/large-scale testing facility (LSTF) at the Japan Atomic Energy Agency.

 

In particular, the ROSA-2 Project focused on the validation of simulation models and methods for the following complex phenomena of high-safety relevance for thermal-hydraulic transients in design basis events (DBE) and beyond-DBE:

  • Generated a system-integral and a separate-effect experimental database to validate predictive capability and accuracy of computer codes and models. Thermal-hydraulic phenomena coupled with multi-dimensional flows that might have included mixing, stratification, counter-current flows, parallel-channel flows and oscillatory flows were the main focus of the investigations.

  • Facilitated assessment of codes in use for thermal-hydraulic safety analyses as well as advanced codes under development including three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes through active involvement of the project partners who maintained and improved the technical competence in thermal-hydraulics for nuclear reactor safety (NRS) evaluations.

 

The experimental program was intended to provide a valuable and broadly usable database to achieve the above cited objectives. The OECD/NEA ROSA-2 Project consisted of six LSTF experiments that mainly included two groups of experiments which are intermediate break loss-of-coolant (LOCA) accidents and steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) accidents. One of the six experiments may have been directed to a different target following a discussion with the project partners.

 

Project period: 01 April 2009-31 March 2013.
