Experiment analysis and summary report for LOFT ATWS experiments L9-3 and L9-4
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5711932
Experiments L9-3 and L9-4 were conducted on April 7, 1983, and September 24, 1983, respectively, in the Loss-of-Fluid Test facility. These experiments simulated a complete loss-of-feedwater (Experiment L9-3) and a station-blackout (Experiment L9-4) anticipated transient without scram. This report presents the experimental results and compares the data on postexperiment calculations made using the RELAP5/MOD1 computer code. Conclusions are drawn regarding the inherent ability of the plant to shut down the reactor without operator intervention, the effectiveness of a recovery procedure, and the ability of RELAP5/MOD1 to calculate the dominant phenomena.
