Description
On April 25, 1987 during a planned 800 MW(e) load rejection test on Unit 8, a violent transient occurred in the deaerator/deaerator storage tank which caused the 500 ton vessel-piping network to tear away from its supports and move approximately three inches in an axial direction. Considerable effort was brought to bear and within one week the unit was returned to service. This paper describes the physical nature of the event and the role of the Bruce NGS 'B' training simulator in developing and testing control modifications to prevent its recurrence.
