Semiscale steam-generator tube-rupture test results. [PWR]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5563759
The Semiscale Program and Test facility are located at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, and operated by EG and G Idaho, Inc., for the US Department of Energy. The system is a small-scale model of the primary coolant system of a pressurized water reactor (PWR) nuclear generating plant. An experimental program designed to provide data from steam generator tube rupture is presently being conducted in the Semiscale Mod-2B System in support of programs sponsored by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research. The test series will provide computer code verification data for a spectrum of tube rupture events including various break sizes (modeling number of tubes ruptured) and various operator safety actions in response to the rupture. The test series will also be used to characterize accident signatures and plant response to typical emergency recovery procedures.
