A small reactor inter header break for Embalse nuclear power plant with loss of electrical supply

  • 1. Comision Nacional de Energia Atomica, Buenos Aires (Argentina)

Description

A small reactor inlet header break was studied for Embalse Nuclear Power Station. The initial leakage rate was 55 kg/s. A low pressure trip was reached. As a consequence, electrical power supply was assumed to be lost. Results show that in 30 minutes operator actions must follow in order to avoid high fuel temperatures. (author)
