Abstract

An assessment of RELAP5/MOD2 cycle 36.04 against a turbine trip from 100% power in Vandellós II NPP (Spain) is presented. The work is inscribed in the framework of the spanish contribution to ICAP Project.

The model used in the simulation consists of a single loop, a steam generator and a steam line up to the steam header all of them enlarged on a scale of 3:1; and full-scaled reactor vessel and pressurizer.

The results of the calculations have been in reasonable agreement with plant measurements. An additional study has been performed, to check the ability of a model in which all the plant components are full-scaled to reproduce the transient. A second study has been performed using the Homogeneous Equilibrium Model in the pressurizer, trying to elucidate the influence of the velocity slip in the primary depressurization rate.
