Title: Evaluation of emergency cooling water system

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/353200· OSTI ID:353200

Evaluation of the adequacy of the emergency cooling water addition system (ECWA system) requires analysis of the postulated accidents for which the system is required to function. Analysis of these accidents requires a knowledge of the amount of the ECW added that goes to the fuel; both the total amount to the fuel and the amount to the central fuel assemblies. This memorandum presents the methods used to calculate the flows to the fuel and the results of the calculations. The calculations are illustrated with a loss of pumping power accident and a plenum line break accident.
