Fast Flux Test Facility thermal and pressure transient events during Cycle 11
This report documents the thermal and pressure transients experienced by the Reactor Heat Transport System (RHTS) during Cycle 11 which included Cycles 11A, 11B-1, 11B-2 and 11C (i.e. 4 startups and 4 shutdowns). Cycle 11 consisted of a refueling period that began on March 14, 1989 and power operation which began on May 3, 1989 and ended on October 27, 1990. Transients resulted from secondary pump starts/stops while at refueling conditions. The major causes of transients at power were five unplanned reactor scrams from 100% power and problems with Loop 2 DHX Fan Controls During 11A.
