Modeling of the TOSQAN test facility with the lumped parameter code COCOSYS

Hydrogen distribution in the containment during severe accidents is an important safety issue of nuclear power plants operation. The detailed knowledge of the containment thermal-hydraulics is necessary for reliable predictions of pressure, temperature and gas distribution in the containment of the NPP during postulated accidents. For this purposes, the study of the International Standard Problem (ISP 47) has been started in 1999 with the test facilities TOSQAN, MISTRA and ThAI The paper presents the COCOSYS nodalisation of the TOSQAN test facility. The results are analysed and compared with the experimental values.
