Abstract
The document deals with the proposal made by UNIPI to the OECD/NEA/CSNI (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development / Nuclear Energy Agency / Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations) to perform an International Standard Problem (ISP), which was later on called ISP 21. This was at the time the first ISP proposed by Italian Institutions dealing with an Integral Test Facility (ITF). ISP 21 was a Small Break Loss of Coolant Accident (SBLOCA) scenario expected to occur in Boiling Water Reactors. One key feature of the proposed experiment was its Counterpart-Test feature which allowed the comparison with similar experiments performed in the FIST facility (available in US, San Jose, General Electric) and the ROSA-III facility (available in Japan at the JAERI research center of Tokai-Mura). The proposal was accepted and the ISP activity went on in the period 1985-1989. (Later) comparison between experimental scenarios in the three ITF PIPER-ONE, ROSA-III and FIST largely contribute to addressing the scaling issue which was controversial in nuclear thermal-hydraulics. PIPER-ONE was a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) simulator installed at the Scalbatraio Laboratory managed by Dipartimento di Costruzioni Meccaniche e Nucleari (DCMN, now DICI) of University of Pisa.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
