Full-Height Full-Pressure Passive Core Cooling Tests

Other LOCA tests were conducted in Piacenza, Italy, at the SPES-2 facility. These were full-height, full-pressure simulations of both the primary cooling and passive core cooling systems. Thirteen small-break LOCAs were conducted, as well as simulations of ruptures in steam generator tubes and steam lines. Again, the results validated safety analysis computer codes and models.
