The SCCRED is a process to generate a consistent, consolidated and standardized set of relevant data for the Integral Test Facility / Separate Effect Test Facility and associated experimental tests:

• Check the quality of the data;

• Resolve possible contradictions:

  • Dispersed and not exhaustive information;

  • Duration of experimental campaign;

• Explain the information on geometry and Thermal Hydraulic properties;

• Perform and independently review;

• Application of quality assurence procedures;

The main advantages of SCCRED for experimental databases are:

• Exhaustive consolidated information in a standardized format;

• Traceability;

• Documentation of the decisions taken in case of lack of data or in presence of contradictory information;

Two different types of Reference Data Set (RDS) are generated:

• RDS-Facility: one RDS for each facility in a "reference status";

• RDS-Test: one for each experiment performed in the facility;

The RDS are Code-Independent, as such they are suitable for input development and qualification and for UM development and validation

• The RDS-Facility is related with the design in a "reference status" of a facility and consists of the following standard sections:

  • Layout of the facility;

  • Collection of geometrical data (lengths, volumes, areas, elevations) for each subsystem and component of the facility;

  • Collection of specific data for complex component (pumps, valves, heaters, etc...);

  • Identification of geometrical discontinuities and evaluation of pressure loss coefficients (normal operation);

  • Material properties;

  • Measurement system;

  • Nominal heat losses;

  • Nuclear data (if available);

• "Reference status" corresponds to a geometrical and hardware configuration of the facility at a certain time
