Professor Andrew C. Kadak Professor of the Practice

Simulation Exercises of Accidents and Transients Lecture 14

Using Prism Code

4 Loop PWR Simulator

• Accidents

– Stuck open PORV

– S tuck open PORV with feedwater b locked

– S team Generator Tube Rupture

– Steam line break – 1 and 2 lines

– A TWS events

– R od Ejection

• Transients

– T urbine Trip

– Loss of main coolant pump

Task for Class

• Predict what will happen in terms of pressure, temperature, sequence of events, final safety status.

• Homework

Go to recitation section and learn how to use PRISM and then run transient simulations filling out data sheets.
