Abstract (English)

The Phebus tests are a unique source of representative integral source term data. In this project the partners will apply detailed codes and partners' expertise to understand and quantify the physical and chemical phenomena underlying the Phebus results. They will combine this understanding with optimised calculations o f the tests using integral codes such as are generally applied for plant analysis to obtain objective information on the strengths and weaknesses of such codes. By the Phebus validation work guidelines for code application and indications of expected uncertainties of direct utility to the user community will be developed.
