Results of an assessment of the ORECA code are being presented. In particular it was found that in the case of loss of forced flow circulation the predicted peak core temperatures are very sensitive to the mean gas temperatures used in the evaluation of the pressure drop terms. Some potential shortcomings of the conduction algorithm for some specific applications are discussed. The results of these efforts have been taken into consideration in the current version of the ORECA code
