Description

Kuosheng Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) is located on the northern coast of Taiwan. Its nuclear steam supply system is a type of BWR/6 designed and built by General Electric. First, Kuosheng NPP TRACE/SNAP model was developed in this research. In order to assess the system response of the Kuosheng NPP TRACE/SNAP model, this study used startup tests data to evaluate the Kuosheng NPP TRACE/SNAP model. Second, the transient analysis of Kuosheng NPP TRACE/SNAP model under the more severe conditions was performed. Besides, in order to confirm the mechanical property and integrity of fuel rods, the FRAPTRAN analysis was also performed in this study. (author)
