Abstract
  • At Oregon State University the Multi-Application Small Light Water Reactor (MASLWR) integral effects testing facility is being prepared for safety analysis matrix testing in support of the NuScale Power Inc. (NSP) design certification progress. The facility will be used to simulate design basis accident performance of the reactor's safety systems. The design includes an initially evacuated, high pressure capable containment system simulated by a 5 meter tall pressure vessel. The convection-condensation process that occurs during use of the Emergency Core Cooling System has been characterized during two experimental continuous blowdown events. Experimental data has been used to calculate an average heat transfer coefficient for the containment system. The capability of the containment system has been analytically proven to be a conservative estimate of the full scale reactor system.
