Abstract EN
Results of the CATHARE code calculations related to asymmetric cooldown tests in the PKL facility are presented.
The test under consideration is the G2.1 experiment performed within the OECD/NEA PKL-2 project.
It consists of carrying out a cooldown under natural circulation conditions in presence of two (out of four) emptied Steam Generators (SGs) and isolated on their secondary sides.
The main goal of the current study is to assess the impact of a chosen cooldown strategy upon the occurrence of a Natural Circulation Interruption (NCI) in the inactive (i.e., noncooling) loops.
For this purpose, three G2.1 test runs were investigated.
The calculation results emphasize, mainly, the effect of the cooldown strategy, and the conditions that could lead to the occurrence of the NCI phenomenon.
