Experiment data report for Semiscale Mod-1 Test S-29-1 (integral test with asymmetrical break). [PWR]
Recorded test data are presented for Test S-29-1 of the Semiscale Mod-1 special heat transfer test series. This test is among several Semiscale Mod-1 experiments conducted to investigate the thermal and hydraulic phenomena accompanying a hypothesized loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) in a pressurized-water reactor system. Test S-29-1 was conducted from an initial cold leg fluid temperature of 544/sup 0/F and an initial pressure of 2,260 psia. An asymmetrical offset shear cold leg break was used to investigate the system response to a depressurization transient with a flow distribution different from that associated with a symmetrical cold leg break. System flow was set to achieve a core fluid temperature differential of 66/sup 0/F at full core power of 1.6 MW. The flow resistance of the intact loop was based on core area scaling. An electrically heated core with a flat radial power profile was used in the pressure vessel to simulate the effects of a nuclear core. During system depressurization, core power was reduced from the initial level of 1.6 MW to simulate the surface heat flux response of nuclear fuel rods until such time that departure from nucleate boiling (DNB) might occur. Blowdown to the pressure suppression system was accompanied by simulated emergency core cooling injection into both the intact and broken loops. Coolant injection was continued until test termination at 200 seconds after initiation of blowdown.
