Abstract The reactor coolant pump (RCP) rotor seizure accident is defined as a short-time seizure of the RCP rotor. This event typically leads to an abrupt flow decrease in the corresponding loop and an ensuing reactor and turbine trip. The significant reduction of core coolant flow while the reactor is being operated at full load can have very negative consequences. This potentially dangerous event is typically characterized by a complex transient behavior in terms of flow conditions and energy transformation, which need to be analyzed and understood. This study constructed transient flow and rotational speed mathematical More >
