Christmas Light
’Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house
No electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged by the chimney with care
With the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

The REPIPE code, a post-processor of the transient thermal-hydraulic computer code RELAP4/ MOD5, was developed to retrieve relevant data from RELAP4 and calculate the time-dependent force exerted on the piping system subjected to pipe rupture. The package of RELAP4/REPIPE forms a tool for both thermal-hydraulic and piping analysis. Both analytical and experimental data of different fluid conditions were used to verify the RELAP4/ REPIPE package. Code-data comparison indicated an overall good code performance.
