The document deals with the description of results obtained by the current version of the Catha code in the ‘blind post-test’ (i.e. without any code-user modification of code-related input parameters) Test BT-12 performed in the Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) experimental simulator LOBI installed at the EURATOM JRC Research Center in Ispra, Italy. Cathare is the well-known computer code developed at CEA-CENG in Frances (cooperation between CEA, Framatome and EdF): the code is in use at UNIPI since more than a decade. The LOBI loop is an Integral Test Facility (ITF) simulating with full height, full pressure, full linear power a German 4-loop KWU-Siemens PWR. The concerned test is a non-LOCA test. The present document discusses the comparison between code prediction and measured data in test BT-12. Noticeably, CEA assigned the activity to University of Pisa based on the pioneering methodologies related to code and nodalization qualification developed at the University.

Abstract
The document deals with the description of results obtained by the current version of the Catha code in the ‘blind post-test’ (i.e. without any code-user modification of code-related input parameters) Test BT-12 performed in the Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) experimental simulator LOBI installed at the EURATOM JRC Research Center in Ispra, Italy. Cathare is the well-known computer code developed at CEA-CENG in Frances (cooperation between CEA, Framatome and EdF): the code is in use at UNIPI since more than a decade. The LOBI loop is an Integral Test Facility (ITF) simulating with full height, full pressure, full linear power a German 4-loop KWU-Siemens PWR. The concerned test is a non-LOCA test. The present document discusses the comparison between code prediction and measured data in test BT-12. Noticeably, CEA assigned the activity to University of Pisa based on the pioneering methodologies related to code and nodalization qualification developed at the University.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
