Quick Look Report for Semiscale MOD-2C Test S-FS-2

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5705531

Results of a preliminary analysis of the first test performed in the Semiscale MOD-2C Steam Generator Feedwater and Steam Line Break (FS) experiment series are presented. Test S-FS-2 simulated a pressurized water reactor transient initiated by a double-ended offset shear of a steam generator main steam line upstream of the flow restrictor. Initial conditions represented normal ''hot-standby'' operation. The transient included an initial 600-s period in which only automatic plant protection systems responded to the initiating event. This period was followed by a series of operator actions necessary to stabilize the plant at conditions required to allow a natural circulation cooldown. The test results provided a measured evaluation of the effectiveness of the automatic responses in minimizing primary system overcooling and operator actions in stabilizing the plant. Test data also provided a basis for comparison with other tests in the series of the effects of break size on primary overcooling and primary-to-secondary heat transfer. 57 figs., 3 tabs.
