Abstract
The Asociación Nuclear Ascó has prepared a mocdel of Ascó NPP using RELAP5/MOD2. This model, which include thermalhydraulics, kinetics and protection and controls, has been qualified in previous calculations of several actual plant transients.
One of the transients of the qualification process is a "Pressurizer spray valve faulty opening" presented in this report. It consists in a primary coolant depressurization that causes the reactor trip by overtemperature and later on the actuation of the safety injection
The results are in close agreement with plant data.
