Closure of LBLOCA Issue and the Q/A Report
Subject:
The LBLOCA should be a closed issue, and the designers of the 1.
NRC codes should appreciate that.
We must keep in mind three important elements which are necessary to protect the public health and safety: proper construction, proper A simple, maintenance and proper operation of a nuclear power plant.
cheap code could contribute to the last of these three elements through operator training.
The Q/A Report is an outstanding summary of the Los Alamos Work 2.
It shows very clearly the weaknesses in the physical bases on TRAC.
for the analyses of the many different T/H problems encountered in setting up the code.
The code developer ends up all too often in a morass of empirical relations. A question arises should this kind of work continue and the answer is no because we have now an instrument, while clumsy, is good enough to answer the kind of questions that However, what is now needed is a new approach which could might arise.
