RELAP5/MOD3.3 Code Validation with Plant Abnormal Event

Measured plant data from various abnormal events are of great importance for code validation. The purpose of the study was to validate the RELAP5/MOD3.3 Patch 03 computer code with the abnormal event which occurred at Krško Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) on April 10, 2005. The event analyzed was a malfun...

description Measured plant data from various abnormal events are of great importance for code validation. The purpose of the study was to validate the RELAP5/MOD3.3 Patch 03 computer code with the abnormal event which occurred at Krško Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) on April 10, 2005. The event analyzed was a malfunction, which occurred during a power reduction sequence when regular periodic testing of the turbine valves was performed. Unexpected turbine valve closing caused safety injection signal, followed by reactor trip. The RELAP5 input model delivered by Krško NPP was used. In short term, the calculation agrees very well with the plant measured data. In the long term, this is also true when operator actions and special plant systems are modeled. In the opposite, the transient would progress quite differently. Finally, the calculated data may be supplemental to plant measured data when the information is missing or the measurement is questionable.
