Description

"This report essentially substantiates the preliminary data reported ln WAPD-PWR-PMF-898. The Primary Coolant System of the Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) at Shippingport, Pennsylvania, comprises four loops. Each of the loops has one pump to control the mass rate of water flow-. A series of tests were conducted on the cooling system of the PWR land reactor to determine the magnitude and duration of the water hammer pressure wave resulting from check valve closure. The water hammer pressure wave was determined utilizing a high frequency pressure transducer, tapped into the static flow- line of Loop Able. In addition to the pressure … continued below

The Primary Coolant System of the Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) at Shippingport, Pennsylvania, comprises four loops. Each of the loops has one pump to control the mass rate of water flow-. A series of tests were conducted on the cooling system of the PWR land reactor to determine the magnitude and duration of the water hammer pressure wave resulting from check valve closure. The water hammer pressure wave was determined utilizing a high frequency pressure transducer, tapped into the static flow- line of Loop Able. In addition to the pressure cell, a number of electric strain gages were cemented to the Loop Able tubing wall in such a manner that pressure changes within the loop could be determined quantitatively from the strain gage signaIs. The water hammer pressures determined from the strain gage installations were compared to the values measured by the pressure transducer."
