Description

This paper describes an analysis of the pressure transient resulting from a pump locked rotor event in the primary system of a pressurized water reactor (PWR). The objective of this study is to define the loads on primary system components during the transient. It is found that, although this pressure transient is less severe than those which are typical of design basis pipe breaks, it could be a significant transient for plants which have been exempted from the larger pipe breaks

Fluid-structure interaction, transient thermal-hydraulics, and structural mechanics
