The purpose of this test was to determine the temperature transient experiences as a result of the loss of an operating loop during power operations when the main coolant hydraulic stop valves remain open. Also to determine the effectiveness of the operating procedure for removing a loop from service when the reactor is critical. The conclusions were the temperature transients experienced in the 1C loop as a result of keeping the hydraulic valves open after the 1C Main Coolant pump had been stopped had no effect of the operation of the remaining portions of the plant. The only detectable effect …

Description
The purpose of this test was to determine the temperature transient experiences as a result of the loss of an operating loop during power operations when the main coolant hydraulic stop valves remain open. Also to determine the effectiveness of the operating procedure for removing a loop from service when the reactor is critical. The conclusions were the temperature transients experienced in the 1C loop as a result of keeping the hydraulic valves open after the 1C Main Coolant pump had been stopped had no effect of the operation of the remaining portions of the plant. The only detectable effect of the above action was an increase in the flow for the three remaining loops. The operating procedures for removing a loop from service when the reactor is critical was adequate.
