  • 1.5 REQUIREMENTS FOR FURTHER TECHNICAL INFORMATION One of the design bases for the Salem Generating Station has been to utilize well-developed and proven design concepts, systems, and equipment, in order to minimize the potential for cost and schedule overruns and to enhance the reliability of operation. As a consequence, there have been few requirements for research and development programs to confirm the adequacy of the design. Those programs identified for Salem have been satisfactorily completed, as described in Section 1.5.1. Other programs were identified as valuable to define margins of conservatism or possible design improvements. Relevant programs in this latter category are described in Section 1.5.2 1.5.1 17 x 17 Fuel Assembly A comprehensive test program for the 17 x 17 assembly has been successfully completed by Westinghouse. Reference 1 contains a summary discussion of the program. The following sections present specific references documenting individual portions of the program. 1.5.1.1 Rod Cluster Control Spider Tests Rod cluster control spider tests have been completed. For a further discussion of these tests, refer to Section 4.2.3.4. 1.5.1.2 Grid Tests Verification tests of the structural adequacy of the grid design have been completed. Refer to Section 4.2.3.4 and Reference 2 for a discussion of these tests. 1.5.1.3 Fuel Assembly Structural Tests Fuel assembly structural tests have been completed. Refer to References 2 and 3 for a discussion of these tests. 1.5-1 SGS-UFSAR Revision 6 February 15, 1987 1.5.1.4 Guide Tube Tests Verification tests of the structural adequacy of the guide tubes have been completed. Refer to References 3 and 4 for a discussion of these tests. 1.5.1.5 Prototxpe Assembly Tests Verification tests of the integrated fuel assembly and rod cluster control performance have been completed. Refer to References 3 and 4 for a discussion of these tests. 1.5.1.6 Departure from Nucleate Boiling Tests The test program for experimentally determining the effect of the fuel assembly geometry on the departure from nucleate boiling (DNB) heat flux has been completed. Refer to Reference 5 for a discussion of these tests. 1.5.1.7 Incore Flow Mixing The experimental test program to determine the effects of the fuel assembly geometry on mixing has been completed. Refer to Reference 6 for a discussion of these tests. 1.5.2 Other Programs 1.5.2.1 Generic Programs of Westinghouse Reference 7 summarizes ongoing safety-related research and development programs that are being carried out for, or by, or in conjunction with the Westinghouse Nuclear Energy System Division and that are applicable to Westinghouse pressurized water reactors. 1.5-2 SGS-UFSAR Revision 6 February 15, 1987 * *
  • 1 5.2.2 LOCA Heat Transfer Tests E.xperimental test programs to determine the thermal-hydraulic characteristics of 17 x 17 fuel assemblies and to obtain experirnenta l reflooding transfer data under simulated loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) conditions have been completed. Refer to Re.fer'ence 8 for a discussion of these test.s. A single rod burst test program to quantify the maximum assembly flow blockage whi,ch is assumed in the LOCA ana yses has been completed. Refer to Reference 9 for a discussion of these tests. The results of these two test programs have been used in the Emergency Core Cooling System analyses in Chapter 15. 1.5.3 References for Section 1.5 1. Eggleston, F.
