LOFT blowdown suppression spray system response time

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5580769
The LOFT Blowdown Suppression Tank Instrumentation Modification consisted of relocating three valves from directly above the tank to outside the BST shielding. This modification created longer runs from the valves to the tank's spray nozzles, altering the response times of the nozzles following valve initiation. The spray nozzle response times were calculated and are satisfactory for the system.
