Received January 31, 1977 Accepted for Publication September 7, 1977 The net free volume of the containment is an essential parameter in the loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) containment pressure analysis for pressurized water reactors. For an optimized emergency core cooling system performance due to the importance of backpressure during the reflood phase of a LOCA, it is necessary to have the predicted pressure quite close to the design pressure. Using a geometric analysis, an estimate of 56 241.99 m3 (1 986 167 ft3) for the net free volume has been made for the containment of the Trojan nuclear plant. Two sets of data were produced from the normally scheduled structural integrity and integrated leak-rate tests on the Trojan containment. These data sets were used to arrive at two new estimates of the net free volume. A deterministic equation giving volume as a function of the slope of a linear relationship between depressurization and time was developed. After an analysis of the reliability of the data, estimates of this linear slope were made from the two data sets. These two slopes gave net free volume estimates of 58 000 m3 (2.05 × 106 ft3) and 57 650 m3 (2.036 × 106 ft3) when used in the deterministic equation. The maximum deviation from the geometric-based estimate was <4%.
