Simulation of sodium pumps for nuclear power plants. Technical report 1 Oct 80-1 May 81
A single-phase pump model for analysis of transients in sodium cooled fast breeder nuclear power plants has been presented, where homologous characteristic curves are used to predict the behavior of the pump during operating transients. The pump model has been incorporated into BRENDA and FFTF; two system cases to simulate Clinch River Breeder Reactor Plant (CRBRP) and the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF) respectively. Two simulation test results for BRENDA which is one loop representation of a three loop plant have been presented. They are: (1) Primary pump coastdown to natural circulation coupled with scram failure, and (2) 10 percent deviation of primary speed with plant controllers incorporated.
