Abstract
As Italian representative inside the thermal-hydraulic task group of Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) / Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) / Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI), the current author contributed to a preliminary activity which ended up in an OECD publication. The framework of the activity is assessment and validation of system thermal-hydraulic codes. Preliminary steps were taken to fix the requirements for the validation. Importance was given to the experimental data and to the scaling processes. The document evolved in about five years to the form a pillar document in the area of nuclear thermalhydraulics. Coauthors were top level researches and specialists working in the area of nuclear thermal-hydraulics at the time. The present report is the second one and together with the first report (issued in 1984) shows the maturing of the ideas for ensuring a suitable qualification level for the system thermal-hydraulic codes.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
