Two-phase pump performance program preliminary test plan. Key phase report. [Water cooled reactor coolant loss transients]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7125428
A preliminary test plan designed to provide basic data on the reactor coolant recirculation pump performance under two-phase flow LOCA conditions is described. The basic objectives of this program are to: (a) Obtain sufficient steady-state and transient two-phase empirical data to substantiate, and ultimately improve, the mathematical model of the reactor recirculation pump presently used for LOCA analysis; and (b) Obtain sufficient data on pump overspeed characteristics under transient two-phase blowdown conditions to verify the pump flywheel integrity to satisfy the requirements of the AEC Regulatory Guide No. 1.14.
