Abstract
The report presents a final review and summary of all dynamic investigations of the Aagesta nuclear power station. Special attention is paid to the final and unpublished experiments performed in 1965-66. These experiments are discussed and compared to the theoretical predictions. Transfer functions and step responses were measured by perturbations in reactivity and steam load. Three methods were used for transfer function measurements: step functions, trapeze waves and multifrequency functions based on the pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS). From the frequency analysis we found that the different perturbation methods led to quite consistent results. For the Agesta application the PRBS method is demonstrated to be an accurate and practical method for obtaining experimental transfer functions. The step technique did not give satisfactory results for frequencies above approximately 0.01 Hz. From the static check of the model we may conclude that the experiments agree fairly well mutually and with theory. The measured reactivity coefficients tend to be smaller than the predicted ones. The predicted transients compare well with the measured ones. However, there is a tendency to more peaked power transients from the model. This is believed to be due to the assumption that the moderator could be regarded as one channel.
