The Rig of Safety Assessment (ROSA)-III facility is a volumetrically scaled (1/424) boiling water reactor (BWR) system with an electrically heated core designed for integral loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) and emergency-core-cooling-system (ECCS) tests. Experimental results obtained so far confirm that the severest single failure assumption in ECCS is the high-pressure core spray system failure even in a large-break LOCA in a BWR. The measured peak cladding temperature was well below the present safety criterion of 1473 K, even with the single failure assumption in ECCS, and the effectiveness of ECCS for core cooling during a double-ended-break LOCA has been confirmed. The overall agreement between the results calculated by the RELAP4/MOD6/U4/J3 computer code and the experimental results is good. The similarity between the ROSA-III test and a BWR LOCA has been confirmed through the comparison of calculated results for the ROSA-III facility and a BWR system.
