The Super System Code (SSC), coupled with the MINET (Momentum Integral Network) Code, was used to determine the plausibility of these postulated plant conditions, particularly with regard to whether the heat exchangers have sufficient heat transfer area for these conditions to prevail. The SSC/MINET representation of the Clinch River Plant used for the part load study is shown. SSC was used to analyze the reactor, the primary loop, and most of the intermediate loop. MINET was used for the rest of the CRBRP system. The analysis relies primarily on energy balances (SSC), an established package of heat transfer correlations (SSC and MINET), and two steady state momentum integral network solvers (MINET).
