.D Assumptions in analysis: primary coolant pump fails. liigh pressure coolant injectic,n operates to fill vessel. Pressure increases to 2500 psia, liigh pressure coolant assumed to fall. The time of high pressure coolant failure is seven days following reactor trip and is time 0 in the accident scenario described.
