Abstract

High pressure. high temperature steam/water blowdown test loop has been constructed. The loop simulates a pressurizer. depressurizalion system and In-Containment Refueling Water Storage Tank (IRWST) with full pressure and temperature conditions. and will be used to generate data for development of an optimal sparser as well as for design of safety/automatic depressurization system. In addition. experiments for reactor safety and pressurizer thermal hydraulics are scheduled. In this paper. general description of the Blowdown and Condensation (B&C) Loop will be given together with the test program.
