codes. Results are very similar, with RELAP predicting 33 minutes and<br />

BWR-LACP predicting 30 minutes to begin uncovering active fuel. Figure<br />

4.6 shows RELAP and BWR-LACP results for reactor steam pressure control.<br />

Results are similar although RELAP predicts a longer SRV cycle (about 60<br />

seconds) than BWR-LACP (about 38 seconds).<br />

Results presented in this Section show th<strong>at</strong> the BWR-LACP code is cap<br />
