The results are presented of Phase 1 of the APRICOT (Analysis of PRImary COntainment Transients) Program. APRICOT is an international cooperative activity for comparison and benchmarking of computational methods used to analyze LMFBR structural response to pressure loads from CDA's (Core Disruptive Accidents). Phase 1 involved parallel calculations of three computer problems by scientific groups in Europe, Japan and the United States. Independent experts reviewed these calculations for the purpose of comparing computational results and methods of solution. The main conclusion was that all calculations were in reasonable agreement, although there were some basic differences in details and approach to solution of the problems.
