Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4291233
Test results of initial start-up and low-power operation are discussed. The data included information for only one load change because of difficulty with the decay heat removal valve. During the load change, the power level increased rapidly after opening the valve, necessitating a manual rod-height decrease. The coolant temperature decreased as was expected, followed by a gradual increase after the valve was closed. Cther test results are discussed, aad descriptions of the test equipment and procedures are given. (J.R.D.)
