Title: STEAM GENERATOR TEST (1A LOOP FOSTER WHEELER STEAM GENERATOR). CORE I, SEED 2. Section 5. Test Results T-643701

Abstract

Steam drum modifications at the PWR greatly improved the Number 1 downcomer flow at lower drum levels. The minimum flow of the Number 1 downcomer was 325,000 1b/hr at --5 inches drum level. This compares with approximately 75,000 lb/hr flow rate prior to steam drum modifications. The boiler water conditions did not change significantly with changss in drum level indicating that steam blanketing was not occurring at the hot end of the heat exchangsr. (auth)
