IDENTIFICATION OF REAL AND SPURIOUS SCRAMS INITIATED BY THE SRE LOG N- PERIOD CIRCUIT

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4703203· OSTI ID:4703203
Theoretical and experimental analysis of the time response of SRE period range instrumentation shows that real reactor scrams can be identified by prescram upscale spikes on the Log N, period, electrometer, and flux controller recorders. Spurious scrams will not cause this type of response. These identification criteria are valid only if periodic maintenance of the recorder pens is performed to ensure their operation during fast transients. (auth)
