Abstract

As a part of developing engineering simulator for CANDU 6 nuclear power plants, present paper gives the tentative simulation results of reactor and turbine power transients including reactor-follow-turbine operation. One point kinetics equations are used for neutron dynamics, iodine and xenon loads. To calculate time-dependent high and low pressure turbine powers and grid frequency deviation, simple first order differential equations are used. In addition, control logics (reactor regulating system, demand power routine, and unit power regulator) used in the plant's process computers have been referenced.
