Title: TRANSIENT RESPONSE OF THE ETR PRIMARY WATER TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4298054

A rigorous analysis of the ETR with temperature feedback demanded the lnvestigatlon of a separate loop whose function lt is to keep the reactor inlet water temperature constant. It ls to accompllsh thls by regalating the secondary water flow. In lDO-l6648, stability Analysis of the ETR With Reactivity Feedback Through the Temperature Coefficient by S. R. Gossmann, the problems of the stabillty analysis of the ETR would have been impossible lf the present experlment had not heen done, since there were no data quickly avallable on the transient or frequency responses of the components of thls loop. As ihe report describes, the system dld not lend itself to the frequency methed. The trassient response could be easily measured. The experiment and analysis are presented wlth the resultlng transfer function (derived from the transient response) developed in the form used in IDO-16448. (auth)
