  1. Reactor Coolant PumpsWorksheet Ricardo Rivera-Lopez

  2. Introduction The purpose of the RCP is to provide the coolant flow to remove heat from the reactor and transfer it to the steam generators. The pumps used are single-speed, high-inertia, centrifugal seal less pump.

  3. Operation • The pumps operate at constant speed during all power operations. (Steady State) • Variable frequency drives are used for pump startup and operation when reactor trip breakers are open. (Transient Conditions)

  4. Simulink Modeling of RCP This is a simple model that shows one reactor coolant pump.

  5. Interaction with other models Plant Control To Reactor Coolant System Initial Conditions Steam Generator

  6. Input/Outputs Input (from) Output (to) Pump flow rate, for each pump (GUI) Pump Status (GUI) – green & red lights, ON/OFF switch Mass flow rate, enthalpy, pressure, temperature (RCS) • Flow Rate, temperature, enthalpy (SG) • Pump status, trips (PCS) • Initial Conditions (PCS)

  7. Other Issues • Pressure Drop calculations – who has responsibility of it? • Transient Conditions – • Does my model has any inputs from the core model? • Questions???
