Crowley, D A

Power limits must be prescribed for each SRP reactor charge so that the Emergency Cooling System (ECS) will prevent core damage from exceeding 1% during a postulated loss-of-coolant accident or loss-of-pumping accident. For specified low probability circumstances the core damage must not exceed 5%. ECS limits have been specified for the Mark 15 charge and for the C-reactor 504 assembly Mark 22 charge. A Technical Standard presently defines minimum ECS flow requirements for the standard Mark 16B-31 charge. This document prescribes ECS limits for the Mark 16B and Mark 31A assemblies in the K-reactor heavy Mark, 16B-31. 18 refs., 6 figs.
