  3. 1. Typical Plant Transient Initiators for : - Protected case (with normal shutdown) and - Unprotected case (shutdown failure). 1. Loss of Flow (LOF) : pump failure 2. Loss of Heat Sink (LOH) : heat sink failure 3. Overpower Transient (TOP) : reactivity insertion 4. Loss of Coolant (LOCA) : primary system leak 5. Design specific transients : i.e. HX tube rupture, jet etc. EUROTRANS DM1 Safety Bruxells, 17 March 2006

  4. 2. Summary of XADS Safety Transient Analyses : 1. For the LBE-cooled 80 MWth XADS, as designed by ANSALDO, no transient could be identified that could lead to severe or catastrophic consequences. • For the worst combination of transients (ULOH+ULOF) the „grace“ time until excessive clad temperatures (> 1000 °C) are reached is between 30 and 60 minutes. 3. The dynamic response of the system is in general very benign to all transients considered, mainly due to it‘s : a. large heat sink / heat buffer capacitiy provided by the LBE coolant, and b. excellent natural convection characterisitics of the core/plant design (that is specfic to the Ansaldo XADS design !!!!)
