Factors affecting post-DNB operation for light water reactors. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6300280
The feasibility of implementing a post-DNB fuel design limit (FDL) for Condition II (moderate frequency) events is investigated. The FDL is defined, a comprehensive separate effects investigation is performed, and limits are specified for post-DNB operation. Limiting transients are evaluated using the FDL, and power benefits are determined. A research program required for implementation of the new FDL is formulated. Finally, recommendations are made regarding implementation of the post-DNB FDL in plant licensing.
