Main objectives

(1)OKKFT G-11G11-TC1988Study of natural circulation, step by step decrease of primary inventory up to crisis
(2)OMFB 00307/91OM1-TC1993One- and two-phase natural circulation, step by step coolant decrease, N2 in the system, crisis
(3)PA Rt.PAV-GFK1993Study of disturbances: shut-down conditions, N2 in the upper plenum
(4)PA Rt.PAV-FET1993Study of disturbances: closing of main isolation valve
(5)PA Rt.PAV-GKK1993Study of disturbances: gas in the SG collectors
