A RELAP5/MOD3.1 model of a boiling water reactor and an interface were developed as a real-time test platform for a physical feedwater control system and turbine governors. The plant modeled was Browns Ferry Unit 2. The model was used to test and tune the new digital reactor feedwater control systems (RFWCS) for units 2 and 3. The set of modeled components, trips, and controls was determined by the testing requirements for the RFWCS.
