3. DESCRIPTION OF TEST FACILITY

ROSA-III is a 1/124 scaled down test facility with electrically heated core designed to study the response of engineered safety features to loss-of-coolant accidents in in commercial BWR. It consists of the following, fully instrumented subsystems:
(a) the pressure vessel with a core simulating four half-length fuel assemblies and control rod;
(b) steam line and feed water line, which are independent open loops;
(c) coolant recirculation system, which consists of two loops provided with a recirculation pump and two jet pumps in each loop;
(d) emergency cooling system, including HPCS, LPCS, LPCI, and ADS.

4. DESCRIPTION OF TEST

This is one of the small break LOCA/ECC test series to study the response of a BWR with ECC injection. Run 912 is a 5% split break test at the recirculation pump inlet. The test is initiated with the steam dome pressure at 7.30 MPa, the lower plenum subcooling at 10.8 K, a core inlet flow rate of 16.4 kg/s, and a core heat generation rate of 3.9 MW. The core is quenched after ECCS actuation and at a maximum fuel cladding temperature of 839 K.
