Startup test techniques for HTGRS

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7317954

Startup test techniques that have been used to verify reactor physics calculations for High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactors (HTGRs) are discussed. These test techniques are different from those used with Light Water Reactors (LWRs) because of specific differences between the HTGR and the LWR. Some of the HTGR characteristics that influence the startup test techniques are evident from the description of the Fort St. Vrain (FSV) HTGR core design.
