Siska, D. P.

This report documents experimental data generated from a series of plant transient tests performed at Arkansas Nuclear One - Unit 2 during December 1979 and January 1980. Four tests were conducted: complete loss of forced primary coolant flow, full length control element assembly (CEA) drop, part length CEA drop and turbine trip. These tests are part of a program to obtain plant transient test data which will be used for simulation code qualification. A companion report, ANO-2 Design and Cycle 1 Operating History Data provides the detailed plant layout data required for the simulation of the transients reported herein. The plant transient test program is jointly funded by Arkansas Power and Light, Combustion Engineering and the Electric Power Research Institute.
