Description

The purpose of this test was to determine the controlling ability of the Reactor Power and Temperature Control System and to determine the operational characteristics of the station during load swings after change of operating conditions from 523 F, 2000 psi, to 500 F, 1800 psi. The Reactor Power and Temperature Control System satisfactorily controlled rod movements to maintain all primary plant parameters within their individual limits during steady state operation and during ramp function load changes of 25 MW/min. Load swings were performed similarity with the Reactor in manual control and all primary plant plant parameters were maintained satisfactorily. … continued below

Description

The purpose of this test was to determine the controlling ability of the Reactor Power and Temperature Control System and to determine the operational characteristics of the station during load swings after change of operating conditions from 523 F, 2000 psi, to 500 F, 1800 psi. The Reactor Power and Temperature Control System satisfactorily controlled rod movements to maintain all primary plant parameters within their individual limits during steady state operation and during ramp function load changes of 25 MW/min. Load swings were performed similarity with the Reactor in manual control and all primary plant plant parameters were maintained satisfactorily. The operational characteristics of the station during load swings indicate the primary system will follow the secondary system and return to a steady state condition. The results of this report are for three loop operation only.
