3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION


Restricted to the benchmark participants.

Oskarshamn-2 Nuclear Power Plant (Sweden, 1800 MW external loop BWR) experienced stability event on February 25, 1999. A loss of feed-water pre-heaters and control system logic failure resulted in a condition with a high feed-water flow and low feed-water temperature without reactor scram. In addition to the initiating event, an interaction of the automatic power and flow control system caused the plant to move into low flow ? high power regime. Combination of above events culminated in diverging power oscillations which triggered automatic scram at high power.

The benchmark is based on the February 25, 1999 feed-water transient event.  In addition, to increase the confidence on the codes? and models? performance, 5 linear stability measurements before the event and 5 linear stability measurements after the event are included in the benchmark. This benchmark defines a coupled code problem for further validation of thermal-hydraulics system codes for application to BWR stability based on actual plant data from the Oskarshamn-2 Nuclear Power Plant.
