Quick look report for semiscale MOD-2C Test S-FS-11

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6255242

Results of a preliminary analysis of the fifth test performed in the Semiscale MOD-2C Steam Generator Feedwater and Steam Line Break (FS) experiment series are presented. Test S-FS-11 simulated a pressurized water reactor transient initiated by a 50% break in a steam generator bottom feedwater line downstream of the check valve. With the exception of primary pressure, the initial conditions represented the initial conditions used for the C-E System 80 Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) Appendix 15B calculations. 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 followed by break isolation and affected loop steam generator refill with auxiliary feedwater. The test results provided a measured evaluation of the effectiveness of the automatic responses in minimizing primary system overpressurization 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 overpressurization and primary-to-secondary heat transfer. 64 figs.
