Abstract
The Asociación Nuclear Ascó (ANA) has prepared a model of Ascó NPP using, RELAP5/MOD3.2. This model, which includes thermal-hydraulics, kinetics and protection and control systems, has been qualified in previous calculations of several actual plant transients.
Ascó NPP is a two unit station of three loop Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR) of Westinghouse design operated by ANA. ANA is a spanish utility that contributes to the Code Application and Maintenance Project (CAMP) as a member of UNIDAD ELECTRIICA S. A. (UNESA).
This report summarizes the results obtained with Ascó NPP model for a loss of normal feedwater ATWS event and presents a sensitivity analysis to kinetic parameters for the same transient.
The phenomenology prediction has been useful from the operation and safety point of view.
