A description is given of the validation of the computer codes which comprise the Westinghouse evaluation models. The codes in these models are used to evaluate fuel rod thermal behaviour in a loss of coolant accident, together with the pressure and temperature response of the primary containment as a whole. The example of WREFLOOD, a large break reflood code, is chosen to demonstrate the validation process. (Atomindex citation 14:799891)
