Abstract
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) organized a coordinated research project (CRP) on “Benchmarking Severe Accident Computer Codes for Heavy Water Reactors (HWR) Applications,” (IAEA TECDOC Series No. 1727), and the activity was completed in 2012. This paper summarizes the results from the CRP: the selection of a severe accident sequence, definition of appropriate geometrical and boundary conditions, benchmarking code analyses, comparison of the code results, evaluation of the capabilities of existing computer codes to predict important severe accident phenomena, and suggestions for code improvements and/or new experiments to reduce uncertainties.
