Analysis of feedwater transient initiated sequences for the Bellefonte Nuclear Plant

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6351781
; ;
Four feedwater transient-initiated sequences for the Bellefonte Nuclear Plant were analyzed. The sequences were evaluated to determine if core damage would result. Calculations were performed with the RELAP5/MOD2 computer code until either cladding oxidation or long term core cooling was obtained. The analyses show that a total loss of power and auxiliary feedwater (TMLB' sequence) results in core damage. The addition of a single HPI pump was shown to provide adequate core cooling.
