NSSS Operating Characteristics: Experience Obtained from Fessenheim Nuclear Power Station Start-Up

摘要

The two 900 MW(e) units of the Fessenheim Nuclear Power Plant are the first of a series of 26 installations equipped with Framatome 3-loop PWR-type NSSS systems which are scheduled to enter into service in France by 1982. The tests carried out at Fessenheim represented the first of the series, and thus it was important to provide the most complete tests possible. The operating tests which made it possible to demonstrate the correct behavior of these reactors under transient conditions and the adaptation of regulation systems required to meet the needs of a modern operation are described.
