An evaluation was made of the effects of design changes on the power- limiting system of the Enrico Fermi Atomic Power Plant. The power-limiting system is the control system designed to control large fluctuations in power whose magnitude and rate fall outside the preset limits of operation of the regulating system. The computer simulations were made for the primary coolant loop, effects of core design changes, changes in temperature coefficients of reactivity, shut-down temperature changes, hot-channel considerations, and reactor inlet coolant transients. (For initial analysis, see BAC/RL-1052.)
