PWR CONTROL SYSTEM STUDY

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4325648
Three control systems were studied for the Pressurized Water Reactor plant. The study was performed at l0% power with the coolant flow at 50%. The plant was considered with temperature coefficients of -l.0 x l0/sup -4/ sigma k/ deg F and --2.5 x l0/sup -4/ sigma k/ deg F. It is shown that only one system provides adequate stability for the lower temperature coufficient if the steady state average coolant temperature is to be controlled within plus or minus 3 deg during fast Xe transients.
