What is developmental assessment?
• Using analytic solutions and experiment data to determine how well specific models of the code work
• Provides insight into how well the code may be able to model specific phenomena
• It is not a comprehensive assessment of the code’s capabilities
• Performed by the code developers, rather than by independent users
• Results become part of the code documentation

A developmental assessment plan for RELAP5-3D has been developed.• Joint effort between ISL and INL
• Plan includes
– Automated testing framework
– Description of how the assessment will progress
– List of the expected assessment cases
– Preparation of code manual Volume 3
![Page 6: RELAP5-3D Developmental Assessment Plan](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56814ed6550346895dbc70bc/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Developmental Assessment Objectives
• Perform an assessment of a recent code version
• Update the information in the RELAP5 code manuals, specifically Volume III
• Automate, as much as possible, the developmental assessment process for future code versions
![Page 7: RELAP5-3D Developmental Assessment Plan](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56814ed6550346895dbc70bc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
7
Automated Testing Framework
• Provides a structure for performing the assessment
• Used in conjunction with automated validation scripts and tools (SNAP)
• Code-to-data comparisons
• Code-to-code comparisons
• Provides metrics on the comparisons
![Page 8: RELAP5-3D Developmental Assessment Plan](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56814ed6550346895dbc70bc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Developmental Assessment Process
• Collect input models and experiment data for the selected cases
• Develop automated validation (AV) scripts for each case
• Run preliminary calculations
• Identify cases that need more work
– Check/modify input model
– Rerun
• Prepare draft documentation of results
• Run all cases with a final version of RELAP5-3D (completed FORTRAN 90)
• Prepare final documentation (ECD June 2009)

Developmental Assessment Cases
• Cases selected based on
– Availability of input models
– Availability of experiment data
– Code models exercised
• 54 cases have been selected
– 15 phenomenological problems
– 28 separate effects experiments
– 11 integral effects experiments
• Some adjustments may be made during the process

Volume III of the RELAP5 Code Manual
• Results from the developmental assessment will be documented in Volume III
• Code version and user options will be identified
• Judgments about the code/data comparisons will be made
– Based on the CSAU terminology
– More qualitative than quantitative
– Metrics in the automated testing framework may allow a more quantitative approach
