Counterpart testing on the SBLOCA scenario using two integral effect test facilities for the integral type reactor SMART

• Three counterpart tests of the SMART SBLOCA using two integral effect test facilities of FESTA and VISTA-ITL. • Comparison of the test results to gain a better understanding of the expected phenomena in the SMART design. • Appropriate initial and boundary conditions provided for the tests and good agreement between both test results • Reasonable thermal–hydraulic behaviors relative to the SMART design during the SBLOCA scenario with minor differences • Proven capabilities of FESTA and VISTA-ITL to simulate thermal–hydraulic behaviors during the design and licensing of the SMART
