- Top of tube bundle 8 ft higher
- Relative to D-4 SG, the ?76 has:
- 5330 ft3Shell-side volume (vs. 5954 ft3)
- Increased Tube Side Volume
- Approximately 1300 ft3 additional RCS volume
- 13% increase
- Circulation Ratio of 4 (vs. ~2.4)
- Slightly larger secondary fluid mass
- 251" narrow range water leve

- Generically, design for a Tavg range of 589.20F -
574.2°F, but:
- Limit Steam Pressure to 1000 psia
- Initially, set full power Tavg - 5850F @ 3458 MWth
- Raise Tavg toward 589.20F as SG heat transfer capability decreases (due to fouling or tube plugging)
- Design to a much tighter Tavg range (e.g., +/-1OF) on cycle-specific basis

- SG Model Changes:
- Approved CPSES SG model is coarse; includes explicit preheater representation; recirculation is not modeled
- Chose to adopt feed ring SG model developed by
- Uses RETRAN-02
- Benchmarked against plant data
- Methodoloogy reviewed and approved by NRC
- Feedline Break
- Due to elevated feed ring, initial transient similar to steamline break
- Detailed model with circulation requires use of dP model to simulate steam generator water level trip functions
- vs. mass, as described in the CPSES topical
