The Development and Assessment of TRACE Model for Maanshan PWR

Abstract

Maanshan nuclear power plant (NPP) is the first PWR in Taiwan. Its reactor is made by Westinghouse Company and has the rated power of 2775 MWt. The Maanshan NPP TRACE model is developed by Institute of Nuclear Energy Research (INER), and National Tsing Hua University (NTHU). The Maanshan NPP TRACE model assessment is performed by Partial Loss of Flow (PLOF) and Complete Loss of Flow (CLOF) of FSAR data and large-load reduction of startup test data. In summary, TRACE analysis results are consistent with FSAR and startup test data.
