Popis:	In support of the development of AP600, Westinghouse is conducting two integral systems tests to examine the performance of the passive safety systems. A full-height, full-pressure test is being performed to simulate a small loss-of-coolant, steam generator tube rupture and large steam line break events. A one-quarter scale, low-pressure test is being performed to simulate transients with emphasis on the transition to the natural circulation post-accident, long-term cooling mode and to demonstrate the long-term cooling capability. Each of the tests will provide detailed experimental results for verification of the accident analysis computer codes.
