This paper summarizes the results of three thermo-structural investigations of the behavior of the Fort St. Vrain reactor under operating and upset conditions. The Fort St. Vrain (FSV) reactor is a 330 MWe High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor operated by the Public Service Company of Colorado (PSCo). The three investigations are concerned with liner cooling system hot spots, with control rod drive mechanism over temperature, and with structural integrity of the core support under a postulated loss-of-flow condition.
