Thermal acceptance tests on turnkey nuclear power plants with steam turbines

It is purpose of this guideline to provide for and to standardise the thermal acceptance tests of turnkey nuclear power stations. The energy balance envelopes proposed in this guideline enable the efficiency of the power plant to be determined in a practicable manner applying proven thermodynamic measurement procedures. This approach makes it possible to verify the guaranteed thermodynamic properties. In addition, the guideline provides also ideas for the appropriate location of measuring points in future plants. This guideline has been prepared under due consideration of experience gained by the users, the manufacturers, the authorised inspection agencies (TUeV) and the research institutes. (orig./HP)
