3. DESCRIPTION OF TEST FACILITY

The FIX-II facility is a volume scaled 1:777 representation of a Swedish BWR with external pumps. The pressure vessel contains a 36 rod full length bundle and a spray condenser at the top to allow steady state operation. The downcomer, bypass channels and guide tube volumes are represented by external piping. The intact loop represents three of the four external reactor loops. The broken loop is constructed such that
both guillotine breaks and split breaks may be simulated. The facility is equipped with ADS-simulation, but no ECCS injection are included. The FIX-II loop is also suited to investigate response of pump trips and MSIV closures in internal pump reactors.

4. DESCRIPTION OF TEST

Test 6261 is one of a series of transient dryout tests to simulate events following pressurization transients in a BWR. An internal recirculation pump BWR type is simulated in this test. The test is initiated by positive ramps of pressure and bundle power.
