Abstract: The supercritical water-cooled reactor fuel qualification test (SCWR-FQT) intends to test a small scale fuel assembly under supercritical water environment in a research reactor. The modified ATHLET code was applied to model the supercritical water-cooled experimental loop containing this fuel assembly and to perform the calculation analysis of the loss of coolant accident induced by the coolant pipe break. The results indicate that the design of existing safety system can practically ensure the effective cooling of the fuel rod experimental section in the accident scenario. The results also show that the modified ATHLET code has good suitability in simulation of supercritical water-cooled system.
