Low-flow stability tests at Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station unit 2 during cycle 3
Technical Report

OSTI ID:6386902
This report under RP1020-2 is a description of the results from the low-flow stability tests conducted at the Peach Bottom-2 boiling water reactor (BWR) in 1978 during Cycle 3. These tests were a continuation of the series begun in 1977 under RP1020-1. Results from the earlier tests have been documented in EPRI Topical Report NP-564. As expected, the Peach Bottom-2 BWR core is very stable even at minimum core flow rate conditions. These data constitute high-quality proof of some long-held hypotheses about BWR stability at high power-to-flow ratios. In the future, these data will become part of the qualification data base for the improved BWR stability predictive computer codes being developed and tested under RP1384.
