Establishment of Channel Specific Channel and Bundle Power Limits

Abstract

A study on the establishment of channel-specificchannel and bundle power limits for a CANDU 6 plant in Rep. of Korea was done.Rationale for the establishment of channel-specificchannel and bundle power limits and the selection of single channels for detailed safety evaluation, and the results of LOCA analysis with established channel and bundle power limits are included in this paper. A safety evaluation, with final limits for channel-specificchannel and bundle powers,shows that the times to reach acceptance criteria are very close to each other for nine selected single channels in accordance with the basic principles for the establishment of channel and bundle power limits.
