Abstract
An analysis was performed to aid in the evaluation of the potential significance of cavitation on flow instability. The RELAP5 computer code and a model of the L-Reactor were the primary analysis tools. Benchmark comparisons were performed between the RELAP5 cavitation model and cavitation tests performed in L-Reactor. Best-estimate calculations of a LOCA initiated by a double-ended guillotine break in the inlet piping to the reactor were then performed for a range of core powers. The LOCA calculations were used to determine the initial core power leading to the onset of cavitation and the effects of cavitation on system response
