The loss of coolant accident (LOCA), as one of the design basis accidents (DBAs), is a hypothetical accident that is usually considered in the design of nuclear power plant. LOCA is caused by small/large breaks in the reactor primary coolant and pressure boundary and may result in a loss of reactor...
