ROSA/LSTF experiment on a PWR station blackout transient with accident management measures and RELAP5 analyses

An experiment on a PWR station blackout transient with the TMLB' scenario and accident management (AM) measures was conducted using the rig of safety assessment/large scale test facility (ROSA/LSTF) at Japan Atomic Energy Agency under an assumption of non-condensable gas inflow to the prima...
